The paper sculptures of Chris Natrop
Chris Natrop makes the most wonderful works of art from paper, watercolour and tape.
His work is all cut paper - using utility knife as a "drawing" tool.
Some are framed, like paintings, whilst others take up most of a room, with the shadows on the walls forming part of the art.
His work has been exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, and internationally in Berlin, Genoa, Venice, Istanbul, and Bucharest.
