Junior Fritz Jaquet

This is another one of those artists who you know has spent hours upon hours perfecting his technique. Junior is a paper sculptor. He uses paper to make objects ranging from amazingly abstract lamps to little human figures. Junior is extremely talented at what he does because he doesn't necessarily make the cleanest of folds on his pieces but that only adds to the style that he is attempting to create. As for the lamps, When you add the element of light into a translucent medium such as paper, the outcome is marvelously coordinated gradients of faded color that ends up looks beautiful.

This is another work by Junior. These three faces, as well as many others, are made from empty rolls of toilet paper. Not only is it remarkable that he uses this medium, but he also manages to pack tons of personality and individuality into each one. I'd like to take a second to mention that these three in particular remind me of the three stooges. But seriously, these little caricatures manage to maintain all the elements of a real human face in that you can see the cheekbone structure and can almost imagine a real person who looks like that.

This is one of the lamps I mentioned earlier. As you can see, the addition of the light into the already beautiful form that he made out of the paper takes this sculpture to a whole new level. With the light carefully placed inside the form, you get to see how the light reacts to different angles of the structure. as the points get further away from the body, they seem to get more and more saturated by the blue color that the paper most likely was initially.

Here is an example of Junior doing more traditional origami-like work in which you can see his representation of a human figure holding up this twisted mess of what would appear to be branches. Now about the figure, it is obviously stylized to his particular taste and I really like how the joints are slightly larger to the point where it looks like they were meant to fold in that method. The bramble-like structure that is being held up by the figure ha a really nice texture to it that is most-likely being created by crumpling up the paper so that the folds sit on top of each other. I really think that he does a good job of developing his style in this piece.
