My friend Anna and I went to Market Collective 5 here in Calgary a couple weekends ago and had the pleasure of seeing local artist Markus Michel.
His work is absolutely amazing and I came across this video of one of his books. The video doesn't do it justice but these books are huge, hundreds and hundreds of pages, and this particular one took 22 months to complete. The majority of the pages are delicately cut so that each page interacts and relates with the next. The colours he uses are so bright and vivid and his subjects range from octopuses to buildings to his own cat. Some of it is funny and all of it is totally breathtaking.
The video is 6 minutes long and worth every second.
Beautiful, beautiful work.
Enjoy! And go to the next Market Collective and see it for yourself!
