From inspiration she finds in natural forms, Sigrid Spier builds beautiful, geometric paper constructs. Her designs are clean and precise but by clever manipulation of the materials, she is able to add movement. Her technique, which draws from elements of pop-up books and paper cut, also investigates depth and perspective, adding more layers to her already rich work.

David Mesguich’s talents can be seen in both beautifully realistic watercolours and geometric paper sculptures. However, you can see his work overlap with his interest in bleak, urban landscapes and his architectural eye, something which probably comes from his time developing his style as a graffiti artist.

When seeing the work of Calvin Nicholls for the first time, it’s difficult to work out exactly what you’re looking at. They could be computer generated or even porcelain. In reality, they’re paper sculptures, but the level of skill and minuscule detail involved is breathtaking.

We like the work of one of Camberwell’s recent graduates from this year, Charlotte Mei Jones. She’s produced this lovely series of ceramic pieces, which are particularly illustrative. We like how, in this case, the ceramics are as much about being objects as simply being a different medium for her drawings.

Tomokazu Matsuyama spent his childhood in both Japan and America, and is now based in New York, which would explain his interest in multiculturalism. His eclectic mix of influences has led to an equally diverse range of styles in his work, which includes mixed media sculptures as well as these wonderfully bright paintings.

I’ve been seeing Milwaukee-based Timothy J. Reynolds‘ mesmerising creations coming through Dribbble for a while now and am always refreshed and pleasantly surprised with the sophistication in which he makes these cool computer-sculpted fictional landscapes.

When seeing Matthew Shlian’s paper structures for the first time, you may be taken aback by the amount of time, patience, and skill that must have been involved. That’s bewildering enough but what is more interesting is the background to the crystalline, fractal patterns he creates.
