Ruffles of Colorful Paper Sculptures Suspended in Mid-Air by Peter Gentenaar

The Netherland-based artist Peter Gentenaar, whose etherial organic floating paper sculptures where created by unexpected processes to make he's stunning artwork. Tired and unsatisfied with commercial papers he developed with the help of Jo Persoom at the Royal Dutch Paper Factory, he's own technique for paper production.

The handmade paper is throng but thing, so it's reinforced with ribs of bamboo. Each organic piece to come to life, starts with a 2-dimension that he lays down and allows to dry. Then with time, the wet pulp dries around the bamboo framework and shrinks about 40% crunching into incredible shapes.

The sculptures are absolutely incredible!!!! They look like organic underwater creatures…

Now it's possible to see he's latest work at Hotel Indigo in St. Petersburg!!! Wish I could go…
