Most people learn to wield scalpel in a medical school, and then in a medical school, they undergo long-term practice, and only then they are admitted to the patient in the operating room. But there are exceptions in life when a scalpel becomes an instrument not of a surgeon, but of an artist, and they operate not on a person, but paper … Such operations, however, also require a lot of practice, dexterity and talent, and all this is in the British artist named Julene Harrison … Julien Harrison is a textile designer by training. She began to cut paper with a scalpel quite by accident, although often all the most wonderful and incredible things happen this way. In general, one day a girl needed to make a birthday present for someone, she cut out a model out of paper … And she got so carried away that she made another one, and then another, and the layouts became more and more complicated each time, and the work became finer and more skillful …
Today, Julen Harrison is an experienced and very skillful artist on paper, or rather even a surgeon, because, as already mentioned, her main tool is a surgical scalpel, sharpened and comfortable to hold in her hand. Patients - white sheets of paper - do not complain, since all plastic surgeries are bloodless and painless, and as a result, faceless pages turn into amazingly beautiful masterpieces that can be postcards, paintings, and decorative elements for home and office. Moreover, Julen Harrison can decorate candy boxes and other packaging with her cutouts to make them original, exclusive and special.
The artist works to order, often carves pictures for weddings and birthdays, important events in the life of a person or an enterprise, or even just pictures, beautiful pictures as a gift and for the soul. One such picture can cost from $ 100, and you can see or order a paper masterpiece from Julen Harrison on her website.
