The possibilities of paper
Collage is only one of the trends within a massively trending PAPER. Everywhere where it’s “cool” to be will be something made of paper. Paper art installations and manipulated books are the favourites in the UK now.

Artists, craftsmen and designers experiment with paper features for the last few years. Chinese artist Li Hongbo has amazed the world with his stretching paper sculptures at the same time there are 3D printers available already.
The paper popularity raised with the popularity of sustainable lifestyle and recycling (eco-friendly materials, recycled art) worldwide. Paper is affordable material especially when it is recycled. An artist from any country can use paper (recycle magazines, labels, cardboard) to make their art due to it’s availability. Therefore again paper proves itself as THE medium for the revolution subject.

Sensuous collages from porn magazines
Jonathan Yeo is a British artist known for his portraits of famous people. For his collages he decided to use pornographic magazines. There's a lot written about the portraits and their political context, especially due to their good sales . We, however, found cubism theme more significant. To understand the artist's work and see how cut porn images form delicate nude shapes visit his beautiful website.
