Li Hongbo-2/24/15

Li Hongbo is an artist from China. He works primarily with thousands of white paper, glued together in a honeycomb like formation. His sculptures are made in statues of people, usually sitting on pedestals. His works are all of the world, the nearest museum holding his pieces being in New York City. I really enjoy how visually interesting his works are, almost like a slinky going down there stairs, it relates back to that. I don't understand how he makes what he makes, because it is so intense and so foreign that it doesn't comprehend. The museums that hold his pieces have workers constantly moving his sculptures, what I would do to be able to touch one of his sculptures! They seem almost like a plastic, when looking at a perfectly still sculpture they look as if they are a mold of some sort; not paper like at all. Overall, I want to see one of his pieces in the near future.
