Li Hongbo’s stretchable sculptures.
Chinese artist Li Hongbo is one of the most renowned masters of paper sculpture. His visually stunning works were showcased at the 2026 Sydney art fair.
Drawing inspiration from the traditional Chinese technique of making folk toys out of honeycomb paper, the artist glues thousands of ultra-thin sheets of paper together into dense, solid blocks.
