Carl Krull

Since we are going to be making sculptures out of linear materials this week, I chose an artist named Carl Krull. Carl Krull is a Danish artist who grew up creating and surrounded by art, going on to attend the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, Poland. Most of the work he does currently is fully composed of 2D lines twisting and folding together to create seemingly 3d forms. He hadn’t used this method of drawing until one day he stated he was “doing some work with drawing in virtual reality, and found myself drawing in a three- dimensional space,” he said. “It was an eye-opener.” Drawings like his Barrier 04 (see below) take on a topographical feel, “utilizing a striking sculptural technique that break open new territory, showing us our world as if caught by sonar and echolocated in space.” His similar works have been displayed in galleries internationally, and Krull continues to make these unique drawings.
