Paper Sculptures

Calvin Nicholls, a Canadian sculptor, has taken art and paper to an incredible level. The 53-year-old artist from Ontario has an amazing talent creating 3D sculptures out of just paper and toothpicks! Nicholls combined his interest in art and wildlife to create masterpieces which he has won many awards for. He began experimenting with paper sculpture in 1984 and his work has been displayed at national campaigns and galleries.

"Over time my method for dealing with the flow and texture of fur progressed yielding some success and many failures...although while difficult, I really do enjoy the challenge posed from either fur or feathers."

Nicholls’ pieces of art are absolutely stunning. Throughout his career, he has designed about 500 paper structures of birds, mammals, insects, fish, and much more!
