There's no doubt that Tom Gallant's paper cutouts are intricately beautiful, featuring thin paper pieces that are highly detailed and delicate. However, you might be surprised to learn the story behind these exquisite works.
Tom Gallant's paper cutouts are actually constructed from hardcore adult magazines. Believe it or not, Gallant repurposes these pornographic pages into "masterpieces" of paper. Gallant carefully cuts into the x-rated images using precise surgical scalpels and creates simply stunning paper stencils.
Gallant purposely uses pornographic pages as his primary material to prove that even society-shunned substances contain a hidden beauty. His works encourage viewers to observe their surroundings more carefully, and to not judge a work based on its medium.
