I have introduced a lot of paper-cutting or paper sculpture art, and various art creators have created many pleasing or admirable works in their own styles; even if I have seen so many works of various artists, , after seeing the paper sculptures of the artist Akira Nagaya introduced today, I can’t help but feel amazed from the bottom of my heart! Nagaya’s works carefully carve out delicate graphic lines on the paper with a knife. It looks like a thin wire, making it hard to believe it was created by hand.
The dried leaves reveal a fine network of leaf veins after drying up. They are also collected by many embossed enthusiasts. Artist Akira Nagaya actually uses paper sculptures to present the delicate beauty of nature in one stroke, which is exquisite. The veins of the leaves are truly ingenious!
General creations are made by cutting lines with a knife to cut out shapes. Akira Nagayas creations hollow out the graphics and retain the lines of the pattern to present the overall shape. The key point is that the lines are like pencil strokes on paper. thin.
Whether it is a layered puzzle piece or a gathering of flying butterflies, I think most people will mess up the fine lines in the pattern just by drawing, not to mention cutting with a blade and there is no chance of breaking and redrawing.
Nagaya Akira’s creative patterns are not limited to a certain type. Characters, illustrations, natural scenery or static objects are all themes that showcase his skill.
The illustrations are like essays on paper, like the artists drafts. After the artists presentation, they become like patterns entangled with iron wires. They are unique. It is very difficult to perfectly cut out a thin line. , such a complex pattern is beyond our common sense.
Nagaya Akira used to work in a sushi restaurant in his 20s. He developed sharp knife skills from the bamboo leaves used to decorate sushi, which inspired his paper sculpture talent, coupled with his proficiency in continuous creation over the past 27 years. , to develop such amazing skills.
Cutting filament-like lines from a thin piece of paper can be said to be the best portrayal of ingenuity. To carve out the veins of a leaf with such concentration and patience, many people would feel uncomfortable after 5 minutes. Right! But it is precisely because of his amazing concentration and patience, coupled with long-term investment, that he can become an expert in the field! Looking back at the above works now, it is still hard to imagine that they were cut out!
