Li Hongbo | Out Of Paper

The former book editor whose fascination with one material has gone to artistic extremes.

It’s so upsetting when he describes his history of working in bookbinding and the traditions of the paper lanterns and everything that’s so personal to him that made him invent this incredible form of art to see other people just copy it

[ttracs]

Guys somebody stole this guys art style and is saying it’s his!

[elihernandez]

Felix Semper stole this guy's idea and gave an interview to Insider and gave Hongbo no mention or credit.

[SuperBuu]

These sculptures would probably make great props for horror films.

omg this is the cutest grown man to exist I get so happy when he's happy playing with his lantern at 1:45

Someone just stole your art style bruh feelsbadman

[mayalyngwa]

It is heart wrenching to see that Li, the original creator, is not getting enough credit for this idea.Someone else is claiming it for their own and making money out of it.

This is truly out-of-this-world-wonderful! My kudos to the artist.

[degucitas]

OK, imagine RECYCLED stuff being turned into this. Artception.

Mr. Hongbo. At the outset I was mesmerised by your innovative artform. I wish to see a video that how you stick paper sheet with each other and also some clise shot of when you stretch any artifacts. Kudos!!!
