Krasznai, a young studio from Barcelona has released a new collection called “Arms&Crafts”.

Artist, Peter Callesen states: "The paper cut sculptures explore the probable and magical transformation of the flat sheet of paper into figures that expand into the space surrounding them. The negative and absent 2 dimensional space left by the cut, points out the contrast to the 3 dimensional reality it creates, even though the figures still stick to their origin without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is also an aspect of something tragic in many of the cuts."

Saori Louise Tatebe was born in England in 1982, and moved to Japan with her family when she was three years old. At the age of fourteen she moved to California with her family and spent three years living there as a junior high-school student. Despite cultural differences and language barriers, Saori managed to find a place for herself and build a new life in the US, and it was there that she realized that dance and art have no borders, No language was necessary to communicate; she danced to find her identity, and created artwork to express herself.

Back in Japan, she majored in oil painting at Tama Art University, and completed a Masters of Fine Art in ceramics in 2007 at the same school. Saori portrays her world by combining two-dimensional design and three-dimensional objects, a fusion that she calls as“2.5 D." “Existence" is a fundamental theme in her creative process, and she approaches her work as if she is giving birth from her finger tips. Her female torsos, sculpted in clay, display the same variation in shape and size as their human counterparts.
