Chris Gilmour is a UK-born sculptural artist whose work is both selective and unique. Using only cardboard and glue, Gilmour creates large, realistic pieces. I think it’s really interesting how he comes up with so many different solutions to make the cardboard look like the appropriate objects/material, making the appearance transcend cardboard. When asked about his process and why he chooses to do this, he stated “The cardboard, although not as strong as traditional sculpture materials like marble or wood, is very flexible. In the end, my works are no more fragile than the works on paper, bronze or wood. As long as the cardboard is treated with care, it should last a lifetime; the oldest piece I have made is nearly twenty years old and is intact.” In 2006, Chris won the Premio Cairo art prize, along with multiple awards and recognitions throughout his art career. Currently, Chris is working in the film industry at a company he created called Vectar Sets. Using his sculptural problem-solving skills, Chris and his team collect sustainable materials (cardboard included) and create sets for movies and tv.
