Germany’s Simon Schubert doesn’t need a pencil to sketch his ideas. Schubert ‘draws’ room interiors by executing a series of folds and creases on a sheet of paper, achieving a result that isn’t quite origami – it looks more like embossed paper.
The shadows, lines and angles of this white-on-white world are soothing, and speak to me of order amid chaos. I want to step inside and climb the stairs – I think there is a quiet room waiting with a view of sea and sky; an uncluttered space where I can dream and think and plan. Is it really only Tuesday?
The artist, who was formally trained as a sculptor, also has a portfolio of installation art and sculpture on his website – the work is a dark, bold contrast to his 2D crease drawings.
