David Thorpe

That's made from paper that.

David Thorpe is immense. I first discovered him in year12 when i was researching collages for a prosepctive art project. I went to the Saatchi gallery, saw his work and fell in love with it. He uses humble media to create these illustrative yet strikingly realistic collages and sculptures and to convey a sense of utopia. Truely original work and a far cry from the collage work of Matisse or Schwitters. I love it.
