British artist Francesca Love, known for her large-scale paintings, embarked on a new kind of creativity. Now the artist creates in a different way, by means of destruction. Forgetting about the canvases, Francesca began to work with books, cutting out "all unnecessary" from their pages, and thus creating unsurpassed three-dimensional collages.
In April 2013, an exhibition of Francesca Love's new works entitled Book-Cuts & Tree-Cuts began at The Riflemaker Gallery in London. Instead of printing the image on paper, she neatly cut off the "unnecessary" parts of the finished illustrations on the pages of the books, forming a single layered image.
Francesca Love believes that after reading a book, or a magazine, people remember only a small fraction of everything stated. By cutting out parts of the pages, the artist tried to "get rid" of all unnecessary information that is imposed on society every day. Francesca's idea is simple, but the resulting paintings as a result of such a long troublesome work are simply amazing.
Francesca Love's extraordinary Book-Cuts & Tree-Cuts exhibition runs until 11 August at The Riflemaker Gallery in London.
This is not the first time that books have become "victims" of art. Artists such as Alicia Martin, Yusuke Oono, Hong Yi, David Mach and others have used books as material to create their works. Printed publications were cut in every possible way, painted, burned, deformed, in order to convey to humanity the truth revealed by the author, once again confirming the statement "art requires sacrifice."
