Start your search with Czech-based Jakub Novak who uses paper to create geometric artworks. The artist demonstrates paper’s versatility by using flat sheets alongside paper that has been folded to create ridges and patterns. In Draw 5P16, red ink connects the smooth and raised paper, creating a continuity while forcing the viewer to appreciate the subtle changes in texture and shadow. In Sketch S88 continuity arises from the colour of the paper. The piece is a single-tone sea of black, forcing the viewer to focus on the patterns that are created by the paper’s folds and the shadows that separate them. The artwork evokes the sea in the dead of night, with its waves rising and falling.
Whereas Novak’s style is minimal and sparing, Lindi Shi uses paper to create layered, abstract paper sculptures that explore the ways in which materials and narrative interact. Lind’s sculptures have a surrealist quality to them, as ambiguous forms entwine and emerge from eachother. Works such as Untitled-J appear figurative, while Untitled-T and Untitled-K have a horizontal pull that makes them resemble small scale objects.
Famous British sculptor Anthony Caro experimented with the possibilities of paper in the early 1990s. His two paper sculptures No.15 Point and No.11 Dusty enabled him to explore the boundary between artforms; he believed paper sculptures existed in a space in the middle of paintings, drawing and sculpture.
