  • Introduction to Video Content
  • The British artist Chris Gilmore creates stunning sculptures of cars, mopeds, and bicycles entirely out of paper. These sculptures, such as an Aston Martin DB5 and a Triton motorbike, are incredibly detailed and lifelike, with no supporting elements used. Gilmore's work showcases a striking contrast between the poor material of paper and the beauty and desirability of the objects he creates. It also emphasizes the contrast between the fragility of paper and the solidity of these heavy machines. This juxtaposition creates a game between lightness and strength. Gilmore spends months working on each sculpture, which can consist of thousands of individual pieces. Collectors now pay significant sums for his works. Apart from vehicles, Gilmore also recreates life-size objects like musical instruments, including models based on the Beatles' originals. The choice of objects and the way they are presented, along with the details in the boxes they come from, adds depth and tells a story. Based in Udine, Italy, Gilmore works in a converted car repair shop that serves as his studio. He traces the contours of the original object, cuts out the pattern with a utility knife, and joins the separate pieces with glue. His passion for working with cardboard began during his studies at the College of Art in Bristol, England, where he initially used it to create prototypes and models. Over time, he realized that cardboard was an excellent material on its own.
  • Subtitles section
  • An Aston Martin DB5 and a Triton motorbike, both look like they're ready to roll.
  • The sculptures are the work of Chris Gilmore.
  • The British artist replicates every detail and doesn't use any supporting elements.
  • The thing that I like is the contrast between a very poor material and very beautiful objects, very desirable objects, the things that people want to have.
  • And also the contrast between the fragility of paper and an object that is maybe a machine or a motorbike or a car, something heavy and solid.
  • So it becomes a game between lightness and strength.
  • Gilmore usually spends between three and six months working on his sculptures, which can consist of up to 4,000 individual pieces.
  • Collectors now pay five-figure sums for his works.
  • Along with vehicles, he also recreates other life-size objects, such as musical instruments.
  • These sculptures are modelled on the Beatles' originals.
  • Here is that there's a second reading in the choice of the objects and the way they're presented and also the boxes that they've come from, there's a lot of details that tell a story.
  • Gilmore is based in the northern Italian city of Udine.
  • His studio is a converted car repair shop.
  • This is where his lifelike objects take shape.
  • First, he traces the contours of the original.
  • Then he cuts out the pattern with his utility knife.
  • The separate pieces are joined with glue.
  • Gilmore says he got the idea of working with cardboard during his studies at the College of Art in Bristol, England.
  • I was using wood and bronze and stone, serious sculpture materials, but I was using cardboard to make the prototypes to make models.
  • And I was spending a lot of time making the models and then remaking them in wood and I realised that the cardboard was great on its own.
  • Gilmore often comes up with new ideas on his strolls through his adapted home.
  • He's been living in Udine for 15 years.
  • He says he's fascinated by the stories behind everyday objects.
  • Case in point?
  • This vintage Fiat 500.
  • He made his copy 15 years ago.
  • It Has a very strong emotional impact on people, people really remember it.
  • So remaking it, it's something that people feel very strongly towards.
  • His latest focus has been sculptures of people.
  • These works have been made for an exhibition next year.
  • And for the first time, he's added a coat of paint.
  • By using that you can maybe encourage people to look at the world in a different way.
  • I think in presenting objects which are almost real, you invite people to look again at the real objects.
  • In addition to museum exhibitions, Chris Gilmore's cardboard creations can also be found in galleries in Italy, France and New York.
