E-books, netbooks and tablets, as well as smartphones and communicators have practically pushed paper books off the shelves. They are not so hard to carry, and such a "toy" will pay off immediately, as soon as two or three bookshelves are empty in the apartment. But if a personal library can be transferred to orphanages or nursing homes, then what to do with old, useless reference books, outdated textbooks and other irrelevant literature? British sculptor Kyle Kirkpatrick transforms such books into amazing alien landscapes. Book carving is gaining momentum in popularity, and more and more often the masters of this unusual art are turning volumes of obsolete literature into masterpieces of modern art. Culturology. The Russian Federation has repeatedly written about those who are famous for such works: Kylie Stillman, Isaac Salazar, Guy Laramee. From now on, this list includes Kyle Kirkpatrick.
The sculptures created from books by this young talented sculptor are called dioramas by many, since the author not only carves landscapes in the thickness of volumes, but also introduces people into them in the form of tiny toy figures that he makes and paints on his own. Carefully modeling the future landscape, Kyle Kirkpatrick also draws attention to the text printed on the pages, using the interweaving of letters as an additional decoration. You can see how this comes out on Kyle Kirkpatrick's website.
