Thanks to Trend Hunter, I have seen some beautiful things done for and with books, but I think that Alexander Korzer-Robinson's spectacular creations are by far the best. Using the book as his medium, he sculpts its pages to create 3D cover art that begs to be displayed in a museum of some sort.
Originally from Berlin, Alexander Korzer-Robinson is now based in Bristol. Focusing on the 'inner landscape,' he bases his designs on the ever-changing narrative of the book he carves--which is also a reflection of life in general. For more information, visit his site.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Book Art Sculpture
- Businesses in the art industry can offer courses on book art sculpture or book-based art workshops to capitalize on the growing interest in the art form.
- Sculptural Narratives
- Businesses in the design industry can explore the concept of sculptural narratives in product design or advertising campaigns, creating a memorable and emotional connection with the audience.
- Upcycling Art
- Art businesses and organizations can promote the growing movement of upcycling art by showcasing and supporting artists that repurpose old and forgotten materials, such as books.
Sectors Adopting This
- Art
