Perhaps the Chinese people are good at making hard things simple, similar to the chopper of gastronomy, POTS, etc., always use the least amount of tools and complex skills, cooking the food in the way of the highest realm, so is paper art. In the long process, paper carving that had a flash in the pan was dumped by our predecessors, only keep the paper-cut craft, with a pair of scissors and a piece of red paper, cut out the life of every flavor and amorous feelings.



Nowadays, on the one hand, the invention of tools such as engraving knives and printers, and on the other hand, the paper carving is easier to get started than paper cutting. Paper carving is blooming all over the world, and in the hands of artists, paper carving presents incredible visual beauty in a new form.



In terms of complexity, Rogan Brown, an artist specializing in microbial sculpting, has a unique paper carving style. He combines male rationality with extreme sculpture and perfectly presents his sculpted objects' complex structure marvelously with symmetrical aesthetics.



Brown's paper sculptures, inspired by tiny and delicate creatures, include tree moss, cells, bacteria, coral, algae and radiolaria, etc. Focusing on environmental protection in his artwork, but he deliberately downplayed "protection", only through the intricacies of the exquisite design, simply by superb carving techniques, in an almost crazy detail to cut paper sculpture, presenting the gorgeous colors of microbial nature, creating an amazing microscopic world.

Beauty in the trash




In collaboration with irisvanherpen, they took my original designs and deconstructed them, adapting them to the human body, turning the static sculpture into a dynamic one that reminds us of the fragile beauty of the natural world and our responsibility to protect them. - Rogan Brown

Beauty in the garbage? Here is an Empyrean dress in collaboration with irisvanherpen, almost unbelievable, by parley global cleaning network parley. TV intercepts and transforms materials made from Marine waste. Beauty in the trash, beauty with a conscience. - Rogan Brown
