Various pieces from the series Biblios and The Great Wall  by artist Guy Laramee. 

Carved from the dense pages of old books, these strikingly detailed landscapes and structures are absolutely wonderful.

From the artist: 

So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains. They erode a bit more and they become hills. Then they flatten and become fields where apparently nothing is happening. Piles of obsolete encyclopedias return to that which does not need to say anything, that which simply IS. Fogs and clouds erase everything we know, everything we think we are.

Guy’s next exhibit will be in Montreal from April 5-29, 2012 at the Galerie d’Art Outremont.
