Owen Gildersleeve, Illustrator, New York

Description

This handcrafted paper art illustration by Owen Gildersleeve features a bold red cargo ship traversing turbulent, multi-layered grey and black paper waves. Above the vessel, a vibrant red sun sits against a backdrop of cream-colored clouds marked by diagonal gray lines representing falling rain. The intricate composition is constructed entirely from layered textured paper cutouts, creating a strong sense of depth and tactile dimension. The color palette centers on striking reds, deep blacks, and muted slate blues.
