Peter Callesen: Paper Sculptures from Single Sheets of A4
Peter Callesen is a sculptor who works in paper. Most of his work seems to be made from single sheets of A4 paper, 80gsm – the sort of paper you probably have lying around for your printer.
That makes it pretty easy to have a go at doing some of these, but I’m guessing you won’t get anywhere close to the results he gets. The pics are quite amazing – I especially love the snow scenes shown at the Korean site listed below…
- Official Site
- Korean Site with Lots More Pictures – the text is in Korean, but there’s lots of good pics of his work.
- Boing Boing Story that linked to the above sites.
- doART Profile – yet more pictures.
Fancy having a go? All you should need is a good sharp craft knife, and some paper. Many of the sculptures are glued, so some decent paper glue would probably help. Unfortunately, I think Peter’s talent is a bit harder to come by.

i hate this site it needs more information on peter callesen as a person
As we had no access to biographical information on Peter Callesen, the article is focused more on his art rather than his favourite brand of cornflakes.
However, since you are an anonymous commenter who will have no doubt just read this page and not ventured into our 2600+ page archive before deciding you “hate” our site, we will make it a priority* to research all there is to know about this artist and report back forthwith.
Maybe you’d like to drop by again, after you’ve found your shift key? Thanks for stopping by.
* that’s low priority, obviously
