- Eatcho's "Bird"
I was over in China Town yesterday and stopped by Compound Gallery (107 NW 5th) to check out their current show, Paper Cut, which challenged local and international artists to make works from chopped-up paper. Some artists took that task literally, like Bryce Flint-Sommerville, whose "Yang Liwei First Taikonaut" is a single sheet cut into an intricate illustration of Yang Liwei, the first man that China sent into space. Though the show also includes pieces that were simply drawn or painted on paper, like those of Jessamyn Patterson and David Stein. Some standouts include new pieces by Eatcho, layering drawings and cut paper for a diorama sort of effect, as well as Berlin's Meyoko, who also layers cut-outs and illustrations.
A few highlights from the show, after the jump.
