Intricacies of Perception

Fully illustrates cut paper projects by artist Chris Natrop from 2003-2005. Chris Natrop brings new dimensions to drawing with large-scale cut paper abstract landscapes. Drawing by hand with a box knife, spontaneously without lines, the contour drawings that the artist creates are made from memory and his subconscious. The process is somewhat like free form self-expression. What seems to come naturally to the artist evokes unnatural settings of multidimensional optical illusions of perception. The work has a distinctive style far from the traditional art of oriental paper cutting, or the techno perfection of laser cut images; Natrop kicks things into high gear delivering raw energy, cutting edge, scenic panoramic views.
