Born in France and now based in sunny Los Angeles, Fleury is an illustrator, prop stylist, and paper artist. A true color lover if we’ve ever seen one, she’s known for her eye-popping paper vignettes and three-dimensional paper sculptures. “I like to transform bright and flat sheets of paper into three-dimensional illustrations and displays,” said Fleury in an interview with Refinery29.

Describing her work as “colorful and fun”, she admits to letting color guide her when it comes to her playful creations. “Colors make me happy,” says Fleury. “I really love all the colors and it really depends on my mood. Some days I am more blue, some I am more pink or orange. Let’s just say I am really into neon colors lately—and turquoise!”

Her second great love is arts and crafts, or more specifically: making things with her own hands. “I’ve always loved making things with my hands,” she shared. “Later, I discovered stop-motion animation, and the part I loved the most in the process of making a short movie was to create the decors and little worlds.

Her projects can last anything between a day or two, and up to a full month for a short animation piece. Choosing the right materials is also important in Fleury’s line of work. “I’ve spent a lot of time finding the paper that I like, that is not too thick or too thin, easy to fold and curve,” she notes. “Same goes for the tools I use and the glue. It is important for me to use materials I feel comfortable with in order to be more detailed in my work. I am very meticulous.”

According to the Philippines-based artist, his aim with this series is to educate the public about the plight of at-risk animals. Supported by the philanthropic organization Acts of Kindness, and World Wildlife Fund Philippines, a portion of the sales from this collection has gone towards supporting nature preservations in the Philippines.

But Cabral’s creative talent isn’t only restricted to paper. A multi-disciplinary designer and type artist, his practice also includes calligraphy, sculpting, web designing, and even app development. According to his bio, by the mere age of 11, Cabral had taken the odd job of writing the names of graduating students’ high school diplomas.

“I don’t know what to call myself,” he admitted once in an interview with spot.ph. “And I don’t really care about labels.” Whatever his label is, we’re digging it.

Having studied Graphic Design for five years, she worked for four years as a junior art director and paper artist based between Montreal, Paris, and London. In 2015, Bee moved to Berlin, where she launched her own creative studio, sharing one space with fashion designers and illustrators alike.

“After making some 2D paper-cut illustrations for myself and some friends, a guy in Brussels asked me to build some paper bird-head masks for his art project,” she further relayed in an interview with Sixtysix Magazine. “I accepted and decided to see how it would go, but I knew already I had a good vision for size and volume. It worked out really well, and I got a lot of positive feedback.”

After this first successful job with paper, Bee went on to accept a few other projects and started to build a portfolio. When she had enough work samples, she applied for a position at a creative studio in London, which looked for paper prop makers. “That was my chance,” says Bee. “I was quickly hired and from there it became official: I could make a living out of this.”

Her work includes anything from miniature potted plants to a giant bottle of Champagne – all entirely made of paper. Here are some highlights from her feed:

“At the very beginning, we started working with paper just for fun between graphic design commissions, and of course because Lucie’s family was working in a paper factory in the Vosges Mountains,” they explained in an interview with Adobe’s online magazine. “We had access to a lot of paper sheets, so we just played with paper. That’s how our first paper project came out. Then we dropped it on the Internet, we had some positive feedback, and we were quickly contacted by a client for our first commission.”

According to the two artists, paper provides an endless source of inspiration for its versatility, its infinite range of colors, and its unique textures. “We have a predilection for paper because it’s a versatile material, easy to sculpt, and very rich in terms of color or texture,” say Zim & Zou. “Most of the time our designs are very intricate and time-consuming and use bold colors. We like projects that tell a story, not just decorative stuff.”

Currently based in France, their clients include huge names like Hermès, IBM, Microsoft, and TIME, creating anything from window displays to complex installations. Enjoy some of their work in the gallery below.

Combining 2D and 3D art, her installations have been exhibited extensively across the U.S and elsewhere. Wagner’s unique approach to paper has also lead to commercial work, with collaborations including a large-scale installation for The Flaming Lips; an installation piece for NIKE; and two installations for Viacom, one of which is a 117 ft piece at their headquarters in Times Square.

“Installation work is just drawing in space,” Wagner noted in an interview with Juxtapoz. “For me, it is important that I am comfortable with my visual vocabulary.” But a drawing in space requires time and much effort. “Each installation and each drawing is a different conversation I am having,” she says. “The gesture is the introduction, the first impression, and everything else tumbles out.”

“Every ink drawing I do helps me understand how I organize marks, situate shapes, and is an extension of the way I see,” she further explains. “The only difference I feel when I am working on large installations is that instead of alluding to space, I get to utilize it. Which to me… is awesome!”

The result is indeed awesome. Take a look for yourself.

“I’ve always loved paper,” she told Ballpitmag. “I love the tactile feel of good paper. The smell of old paper. The myriad forms paper can take. I also love that paper often seems ephemeral and delicate, but under the right circumstances, it can last lifetimes.”

Based in Boulder, Colorado, Redlinger is very much informed by her natural surroundings. “There’s a lot of open space around my home in Colorado, and I love watching the colors of the landscape change throughout the seasons,” she says. “I visit plant nurseries a lot, and botanical gardens when I can, to see what’s blooming. And I’ve recently become enamored with the floral paintings of Odilon Redon.”

Her work process includes copious amounts of research on her subjects both before and during the making process. This means studying live plants and flowers, but also online image searches and combing through books and magazines. The result is simply breathtaking (we can’t stress this enough!)

See for yourself.

A self-taught sculptor through and through, King admits that the learning curve has been steep. “There’s a lot of trial and error,” he told Embodied Magazine. “But one of the benefits of using cardboard is it’s very quick [to] use, so it’s relatively easy to try things. If it doesn’t work out, I can just cut away whole sections and try something new. I’m still learning with each new piece, but now that I have some proficiency with making basic shapes, I’ve started to experiment with other techniques, like coloring with inks.”

Based in New York City, King’s latest series took him to his grandparents’ hometown in China. His series features life-sized cardboard sculptures of the villagers he had met there. A remarkable feat, and not just for a newbie. “The intimacy you get from making art, especially figurative art, is pretty intense,” he says.

“With every medium, but maybe especially so with cardboard, there’s a range of detail that can be used,” he explains. “More detail is not necessarily better, and accuracy is not what I go for.” Some of his techniques draw from Chinese traditions of cut-paper art. In this way, King mixes together the old and the new, injecting his personal experiences into his pieces.

Take a look at some of his paper sculptures in the gallery below:

His sculpting journey began three years ago, back in 2016 when he first created a cardboard model of a man which he had painted many times.

“Whatever the source, the work proceeds with some urgency as if it were a hunt,” the artist shared on his personal website. “Meanings percolate gently through the mixing; attaching and detaching themselves as the arrangements shift. I exert little control but take notice and what I notice I paint or build. I suspect that at the heart of the process is a question of identity, allied to a suspicion that the real world is as much a product of desire as it is an object.”

Two years ago, Kraus began making paper sculptures with fine crepe paper. She started by creating traditional flowers, then insects and geckos.

“I was curious what else I could do with it. So I made a not-so-traditional plant, the Venus flytrap. I had a lot of fun with the details!” she wrote on Bored Panda. “Next, I tried to make insects, even though the insects I chose are not too far from plants since they are disguised as flowers or sticks. After that, I challenged myself to make a gecko, and I was quite happy with how it turned out.”

Kraus draws inspiration from the beauty of nature and she tries to make her paper sculptures as realistic as possible.
