The Paper Art of Lucila Biscione

Lucila Biscione creates surreal scenes with paper, ink, and pencil, with lush backdrops and roaming creatures. The Buenos Aires-born, Berlin-based “papercut" artist primarily uses muted tones in the works shown here, adding to worlds that appear either ancient and lived-in—further underscoring their fairytale quality.

Lucila Biscione creates surreal scenes with paper, ink, and pencil, with lush backdrops and roaming creatures. The Buenos Aires-born, Berlin-based “papercut” artist primarily uses muted tones in the works shown here, adding to worlds that appear either ancient and lived-in—further underscoring their fairytale quality.

The artist offers some insight into her globetrotting background: “I was born in Buenos Aires, but I spent my childhood in Villa Cacique, a small town located in Buenos Aires Province. During my adolescence I lived in Mar del Plata. Ultimately, I came back to the Buenos Aires to study Graphic Design at the University of Buenos Ares. I currently live and work in Berlin. I may say that at this time Berlin is my place in the world. Although, if I have the chance to choose, I would always return to live next to the seaside.”

Oakland-based artist Gabriel Schama creates 3D work using techniques that allow him to play with rhythm and texture.

With their focus on pattern and geometry, his works are satisfying to look at yet tempting to touch because of their texture. For his next projects, Schama is experimenting with leather, plywood, and acrylics. Take a look at his recent work below.
