Every time you come across another interesting article about paper art, it seems that it is definitely the last one and that it is no longer possible to come up with something even more interesting, new and original. And at the same time, you understand that paper is such a versatile and accessible material that amazing works of art will be created from it as long as a person has a desire to create at all. Today we will introduce you to another representative paper art - Argentinean Pablo Lehmann.
Pablo works with books, turning their pages into delicate weightless canvases. Sometimes he takes the original text, leaving individual words intact and cutting out the interweaving of paper strands between them. Sometimes the author picks up colored pencils and draws intricate diagrams and patterns over the printed text, or writes certain phrases, and then cuts them out as the basis, but the book words remain in the background.
As a result of the creative process of Pablo Lehmann, an interesting transformation takes place: the text turns into an image. The author takes books of various genres: fiction, scientific, philosophical literature; and the work with the texts of Jacques Derrida, Jacques Lacan and Jorge Luis Borges led to the fact that Lehmann's works became famous not only in his native Argentina, but also abroad.
Pablo Lehmann was born in 1974 in Buenos Aires (Argentina). Works as a teacher at IUNA (Instituto Universitario Nacional de Arte). More details about the author's work can be found on the website.
