Peter Callesen

Sometimes you see art - and you say “yes!” (or at least I do)

And so: Peter Callesen paper art extraordinaire

All in All, 2006

Acid free A4 115 gsm paper and glue

(From cradle to grave)

Hanging Image, 2008

139 x 107 x 13 cm.

Water colour and pencil on 120 gsm acid free paper, glue, and oak frame

Alive, but Dead, 2006

127 x 94 x 11,5 cm.

Acid Free paper, glue, acrylic paint, and oak frame

I always have the feeling of everything being empty, a shadow, perhaps even a Platonic shadow - that the most perfect image exists in another reality. And somehow the feeing is captured by Callesen.
