These sculptures of furniture and objects by Vincent Tomczyk are deceptively realistic. Try to sit on the sofa or chair for instance and they will crumble underneath you! The reason being that these amazingly lifelike sculptures are actually made entirely from paper.
I was amazed to learn that Tomczyk creates the works without adding any digital elements. Every crease and fold on the crisp white shirt, for example, is painted on. These deceptive artworks are on display for a limited time only at the 'Gallery 825' in Los Angeles for the month of May.
From the shirt and tie, to the tarnished leather wallet to the upstanding jean shorts and the traditional upholstered green chair, these artworks simply have to be seen to be believed.
