These Sculptures Made Out Of Paper Will Blow Your Mind

Li Hongbo's mesmerizing sculptures are currently on view at Klein Sun Gallery in New York. After years of trial and error, he's perfected his method of layering thousands of sheets of paper and carving them into busts, replicas of nature and human forms.

Creepy and fascinating all at the same time. Really amazing

[@jab4634]

Why do you find it creepy? 😊

[@luckas221a]

​@@jab4634 it's uncanny to see what looks like sculpted stone suddenly be stretched. Especially when it's human-shaped, but his paper sculptures of wooden logs also freak me out a little

[@temflakes3781]

this is amazing and the hell spawn of nightmares at the same time

[@adriantam5586]

image a robber comes in not knowing all sculptures are paper and when he tries to take one the sculpture keeps expanding and he is screaming

[@RubyRedTootsies]

I was positively impressed with the information until . . . the damn video kept popping up links to other videos or sites or whatever, causing much distraction from the purpose of this video itself. This video is ineffective for your desired outcome and could be greatly improved with the removal of all the damn pop-ups that block the video contents.

[@jeremycbarnhart2305]

RubyRedTootsies Most of us dont have those pop ups because we use popup blockers.

[@zaynabh4464]

What if there was a fire 😂

[@altinoguimaraesneto7032]

mas na minha língua natal em português do brasil eu nunca imaginei que isso seria papel ,isso é impressionante nunca imaginaria que isso é tão zoado

Altino Guimarães Neto eu não acho zoado... é muito foda, e o cara que fez se esforçou muito com certeza

[@theserioustalkertst1709]

Who else just found out this is paper?

[@nickqt]

Can we hunt down the mouthbreathers who downvoted this and make sure that they can never poison the earth with children?

[@spaceface105]

I am one of them. What do you want to do to me now? Eat me?

[@nickqt]

spaceface105 You. Are. So. Cool.

[@lowtek4475]

+nickqt I didn't downvoted this video, but I certainly will if can be guaranteed I will never have kids. This way is a lot simpler than vasectomy. I can let the privilege of poisoning the world to anyone who feel the necessity of having children.

[@FrankieT666]

[@Zroxev]

spend about 1000$ on paper, put it in a stack and carve the paper with some long saw

[@dantereliford923]

Why are tree's dying for this?

[@MrsTM17]

+Dante Reliford Do you not perceive the beauty and necessity of art? I understand where you're coming from. I also feel it's good to enjoy incredible & inspiring talent. And it's spelled trees.
