Based in Beijing, Li Hongbo is an astonishing artist that is known for his intricate artworks made from paper. Above is his piece title Absorption No. 6 and is composed of a stack of books that are carved out to depict the image of a small boy. The thing that I find the most amazing about this kind of sculpture is that Hongbo is able to give his piece's breath and movement by allowing the sculptures to freely expand and retract. To me, this is unlike using any other medium for creating a sculpture; he makes them come to life in such a fascinating way. I find this particular piece interesting because of the incorporation of the books; I think it adds an interesting touch to the whole image compared his other paper sculptures. Overall, there is no denying Li Hongbo's talent and creativity seeing as though he was able to revolutionize the art world with his paper sculptures.
