Paper Sculpture for Sale

Paper is increasingly used to create sculptures or installations in the contemporary art scene as it has rare virtues for sculpture. Light and fragile, paper sculptures are a far cry off from the characteristics of traditional sculpture in all its massive and hieratic nature. In our selection, discover Tsuyu Bridwell's monumental suspended works made of origamis, the simplicity of Ferri Garcès' patterns or the colors of Caroline Preston's wall-hangings.

Need help with Paper Sculpture ?
What are paper sculptures called?

Sculptures made from paper do not all fit into the same category, and most do not have a specific name other than "sculpture". However, one popular type of paper sculpture is origami, an art form that uses the technique of paper folding and is associated with Japanese culture. Another common form of paper sculpture is paper mache, in which small pieces of paper are bonded together to form the sculpture.

What kind of paper is used for paper sculptures?

Paper sculptures can be created using a range of different types of paper, although many artists opt for thicker and sturdier variations, such as thick sheets of watercolor paper or card. 

Can you make a sculpture from paper?

Paper has been used as a material to create sculptures for hundreds of years. It is a cheap medium and is easy to manipulate using techniques such as paper mache.
