Cutting Edge: Untraditional Papercuts by Three Contemporary Artists
Cutting Edge moves a step further on from contemporary papercuts and themes into new and untraditional forms of papercutting. The focus on colours, and especially the layering of multiple colours within a piece, is a prominent theme throughout this exhibition. In the past, traditional papercuts have been two-dimensional, either monochrome or with colours applied to the design. This exhibition’s innovation comes from the layering of a series of painted papercuts, one on top of another, to create a sense of depth. In this way the artists hope to contribute to the development of papercuts as a modern art form.
