Maskull Lasserre

Montreal, QC, Canada

"

I am consistently impressed with the quality and inventive nature of Maskull's sculptural works. There is a exceptional amount of wit paired with extremely proficient craft in everything he creates, each new endeavor is unexpected and wonderful.

Gregory Euclide

Minneapolis, MN

"

Upon encountering Euclide's installations for the first time I can't understate the powerful understanding I felt exploring the valleys, rivers, and structures that seem to sprout and flow from the canvas.

Naoko Ito

New York, NY

"

On Colossal I love to share work that while easily understandable at first glance, also leaves a lasting, unforgettable impact. Naoko Ito's segmented tree branches easily fall into that category, you're immediately struck with the typical "why didn't I think of that?" moment, but then realize wow absurdly complex each sculpture must be to create.

Lisa Nilsson

North Adams, MA

"

Lisa Nilsson is probably one of my favorite artists. Her splendid quilled paper anatomy pieces made my jaw drop the first time I saw them, and it's been so exciting to see the attention her work has gotten over the past few months.

Peter Callesen

Copenhagen, Denmark

"

We've all tried our hand at basic origami, and perhaps even cut out a strand of gingerbread men using folded sheets of paper for Christmas, but Callesen takes these same skills to an entirely different level, turning a single white sheet of paper into a museum-worthy sculptural object.
