The most well known form or paper art that many are familiary with is origami. Origami, originated from Japan, is the creation of objects with paper. It has since evolutionized into a whole new form of pop art with more details and intricacy that shames the paper swan and frog. These real and surreal paper art, created with the use of regular paper, are showcased in museums around the world. The work from the following artists will make you look at paper in a whole different way. Maybe save that scrap piece of paper to create something extrodinary instead of throwing it out next time.
