As a child, we were all taught to treat books with care and respect: to wrap them in covers, carefully flip through the pages and in no case draw in the margins and not wrap the corners. And if the book is torn or frayed, it should be referred to a "doctor" who will "cure" the torn pages, glue the fallen leaves, or even completely replace the binding of the injured poor fellow. In the hands of Brian Dettmer, books are given new life.
The artist Brian Dettmer (Brian Dettmer) can be considered not a simple surgeon, but a plastic one who changes the appearance of the literature that has seen types of literature beyond recognition. The art in which Brian is engaged is called book carving and requires not only patience and perseverance, but also the ability to masterfully handle a scalpel, scissors, and other stabbing and cutting tools. Naturally, let's not forget about artistic talent, vivid imagination, rich imagination and the ability to think in perspective. Indeed, in order to cut out such sculptures from a textbook, atlas or volume of poetry, it is necessary to see the finished result even when the book is intact and almost intact on the table, untouched either by the knife or the scissors of the master.
The series of sculptures from the books that are presented in our selection is called "Adaptations". This is one of those exhibitions that are sold out in any city you visit. Whether the master sells his work is unknown. In any case, for the details of the additional portion of book "adaptations" should look at the official site of the author, Brian Dettmer (Brian Dettmer).

Robert The: the art of book carving
When we talk about books, as a rule, we mean their inner content, but you can not only read them. Book art opens before us other aspects of the existence of books: their design, as well as the history of our reading of books, reflected in their state and appearance months and years later … This art has always been very intimate, exciting and even sinful, but despite the numerous protests and misunderstandings, artists continue to create.
