[Art] Origami structures

November 21, 2011

Clemens Behr is a German based artist who likes to use the simplest materials to fill gallery/public spaces with origami-like structures. Behr works with recycled materials and basic geometric forms, suchs like cardboard and tape, to create a subtle confusion between 2D painting and 3D objects. But he doesn’t confines in only gallery spaces, he likes to take his work in a public sphere, building his artwork in metro cars or on street corners.

‘At their best, his installations are feats of optical trickery, disorienting architectures reminiscent of German expressionist film sets. At their worst, they look like a creative kid ran amok with a bunch of moving boxes and a vat of paint. Behr belongs to a crop of artists, who take inspiration from childlike forms of expression, a naive, innocent aesthetic befitting a generation of Peter Pans…’
