Four absolutely brilliant book sculpture artists who create incredible sculptures and works of art out of books:
Book Sculpture Artists: Guy Laramee
Contemporary artist Guy Laramee has a talent for transforming the pages of thick books into beautiful natural landscapes and historical scenes. He uses clamps to harden the books and wood carving tools – including sand blaster and tar – to create the 3D sculptures.
Brian Dettmer
American artist Brian Dettmer uses older dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, science and engineering books, art books, medical guides, history books, atlases, comic books, and wallpaper sample books to create his works. Sealing then slicing the books creates his 3D pieces.
Su Blackwell
Su Blackwell is a British artist who creates her fairytale sculptures after reading the books she scalpels. The artworks she creates are usually representations of her favorite chapters of the books.
Robert The
The artist known as Robert The began his book sculptures by cutting into a book in 1992 before moving to gun cutouts. Rather than creating a derivative piece, his work adds a new layer to the original books.
