I discovered amazing artist Alexander Korzer-Robinson while browsing through GoldBug this weekend.
I was simply taken aback when I first saw his collages thought that they where just cut and paste but went into complete and utter shock and awe when I actually learned about the painstaking process he completes when he makes each piece. I would love to try his technique out someday but I don't know if I could ever be so bold as to cut up a 100+ year old antique book like he does so beautifully. You can read more about him, and view more of his art at his website here. I hope one day to be able to put one of his pieces up on my walls!
check out the guy who originally came up with the concept that the Korzer-dude without credit stole.

the original is way better and, yes, original.
These are definitely beautiful...Is it called "For Whom the Bell Tolls"?

Ola: Wow, the link you commented here is insane! Dettmer's work has such a great sculptural quality to it! You can definitely see where Korzer-Robinson would have been inspired by him if he was the first to start this type of book art. On the one hand though I can see where Korzer-Robinson's art has its own qualities in comparison, it's much flatter and less detailed by far then Dettmer's work. I could see there being a market for each artist as an individual. Dettmer's also screams much more modernism to me then Korzer-Robinson's. That's just my opinion though upon first glance. Thank you so much for sharing the link, it was a treat to check that stuff out, very inspirational!
ReplyDeleteK8: The two series these were taken from were called The Meyers Series, and the Brockhaus series. For whom the bell tolls was just what I happened to be listening to at the moment of posting this :) I think it would be a great series title for the pieces though, personally!
