Chris Gilmour, "The Triumph of Good and Evil", 2009. Cardboard, glue # 70 7/8 x 70 7/8 x 39 3/8 in. (It's life-sized!)
Slash: Paper Under the Knife is an extraordinary exhibit. In this exhibit, now showing at the MAD Museum (aka the Museum of Arts and Design) through April 2010, artists use different forms of paper and push them to their limits. If the main concept is to see how far art can go using only paper, the artists in this exhibit succeed exceptionally.
As I was walking through the exhibit there were many artists that stood out to me. One was Chris Gilmour. He created this masterful piece called The Triumph of Good and Evil. The entire sculpture is made of cardboard but you wouldn’t know by the amount of detail that Gilmour was able to construct. He forms beautiful shapes, a distinguished theme and has exceptional craftsmanship for one only using this material. From his sculpture you are immediately able to tell that Gilmour was fully committed to his work. [click to continue….]
