Made out of paper! Seriously.

If you liked Sean Avery’s animals made of shattered CDs, you’ll enjoy these paper-crafted creatures by France-based graphic studio Zim and Zou. With a similar meticulous effort, artists Lucie Thomas and Thibault Zimmerman, who make up Zim and Zou, rework the inanimate materials to simulate organic characters in the series titled Cabinet de Curiosités. The duo, who met in art school, hand-cut their work from each intricate feather on their bird sculptures to the detailed patterns in their insect paper art. Not only is the construction of each comprehensive piece impressive, but the color palette and design of the varied animals are eye-catching. The mix of blues, reds and golds within the same bird sounds like it would be too busy, but Zim and Zou execute the combination brilliantly. If you’re in the area, these diligently produced works will be on exhibit in London at the Pick Me Up Contemporary Graphic Art Fair from March 22 until April 1, 2012.

Paul Villinski’s swirl of butterflies are made of recycled beer cans that once littered the streets of New York. In two of his latest pieces titled Fable and Rise, Villinski presents a visual melody of butterflies blooming out of the crevices of a cello and an electric guitar, respectively. It feels as though you can hear the music. The sculptor’s conscious choice to represent butterflies in his work stems from their transformative nature. Like the metamorphosing creature, the used aluminum cans evolve and are given new life in a beautiful form.

The De Luminarie Cagna. A giant colonnade made of wood and hundreds of thousands of LEDs. The entrance area is an imposing 28 meters high. The audience walks into a fairy tale gallery, surrounded by light and color.
