Owen Gildersleeve, Illustrator, New York

Description

This intricate paper art sculpture by illustrator Owen Gildersleeve depicts a layered topographical landscape constructed from stacked white paper sheets. Cutting across the white terrain is a winding river element composed of carefully stacked paper layers transitioning through bright shades of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. The composition creates a strong sense of depth and three-dimensional relief through precise cutting and shadow play between the tiers. At the bottom edge, a crafting scalpel rests on the plain white background, highlighting the manual technique involved. The overall aesthetic is clean, tactile, and graphic.
