Fairytales Come To Life In New Papercut Light Boxes by Hari & Deepti
Deepti Nair and Harikrishnan Panicker, two Colorado-based artists who create stunning works of illuminated fairytale paper art, are back with a new wondrous series of images, fittingly named “Oh, The Places You Will Go!”
The artist-couple’s work (which we wrote about previously) inspires images of ancient legends or of enterprising, futurist explorers, which makes sense, because they were initially inspired by Balinese shadow puppets.
They achieve their extraordinary atmospheric effect by backlighting their framed paper artwork with strips of colored LED lights. The layers of paper grow darker and darker as they grow further and further from the light, giving them their strikingly dark and layered appearance.

Share on FacebookThese go beyond paper cutting. Should I put one one of these fabulous lights on my Christmas list?
It is remarkable. The play of shadow and color, or lack of color, enhances the experience of the story.
I'd almost give my left arm to have one of these in my home. Outstanding.
