I've been writing about paper art before (Peter Callesen), but this new work I heard about, created by the Beijing based artist Li Hongbo, is like entering another level of the paper world. I have always been fascinated by the simplicity of the paper material and how it can come across as something much more solid than what you would expected at first glance. It is also, to me, very satisfying to see artists who have artistic talent (not one who decide to make a light in a room switch on and off and call it art) and know to use their skills to create something that most people would go "WOW" about!
Li Hongbo uses an old chinese "paper gourd"-technique as inspiration to create these solid, yet highly flexible, statues that are amazing, fun and fascinating as well as surprising. Wow.
