Folding Paper Art by Simon Schubert

A German artist has spent two years perfecting a technique of creating pictures by making hundreds of tiny folds in sheets of paper.

Simon Schubert's embossed-effect images appear at first glance as though they could have been drawn onto the  page. Infact no paint or pencil is usedto create the affect of light and shade...it is all created  by acurate folding.

Each of his works, which have been the subject of major exhibitions, takes a week to complete and they sell for up to approx $5,000.00( AUSD)

  5. John, I actually scouted about and tried to find more information about this artist and his art but as yet Ive not been able to locate any information. He does have a website but it is written in German. I did find some more pictures at this site and thought htat perhaps you would like to view them.
