Interview IMPRESSION ORIGINALE Surgeon Paper Lapin_tête_2
Introducing

Nice to meet you Surgeon Paper (Remi). Who are you?

I have always been attracted to manual activities. As a child, I was very curious, I spent a lot of my free time dismantling and putting it back together electronic devices. I like to understand how things work, it has caused me some accidents of course, such as when I planted a hairpin in an electrical outlet, or when I put my hand flat on a hot plate … to check if it was really hot. It was.

I always kept a creative side hobby on top of my countless jobs. I made stop-motion movies with paper objects or with pretty much everything that fell under my hand (www.vimeo.com/charetteprod). I participated in the realization of advertisements using this technique.

Meet Remi

Bonjour !

“For a little over a year, I am 100% working on paper sculptures, based on computer modelisation.

I sell online my “animals” and other artworks (see link below).

I am open for commissions for window décor, or private orders.”

3D MODELING

The use of specialised software is key. Can you explain what is the role of the computer in your creation?

The first time I saw a paper sculpture in this style, I immediately wanted to try. I was already working with paper, glue, cutters; The first time, I used a deer modelised model I found online. I was a success.

I really liked the result and so I deepened the subject and learned more looking at online tutorials to be able to master all the stages of creation, and eventually, create my own models.

COFFEE BREAKS

Where is your mind when you give life to your artworks?

It takes too much focus for me to be able to think of anything other than what I am doing!

It is usually when my mind begins to escape that I make mistakes, this is usually the moment I choose to take a break.

FROM YOUR WINDOW

What do you see from your window in Marseilles?

Being in a period of professional transition, I constantly move.

Right now, I see trees, the skyline of Marseilles, and Notre Dame de la Garde in the background. The top three quarters of the view are filled with a beautiful blue sky most of the time.

Marseille is a little French California … except for high technology and movie stars.

YOUR FAVORITE

What is your favorite artwork? Explain to us why.

“…but it is impossible… it is like choosing your favorite child!”

SurgeonPaper1 Interview IMPRESSION ORIGINALE

THE PANTHERE [Originals by Surgeon Paper].

As you can see on my Instagram feed, the little rabbit is a central piece. I had to go through a lot of prototypes and I’m really pleased with the result I got and how poeple receive it.

However I would say that my favorite creation is the bear … or the wolf … or else … in fact I love them all, it’s a bit like choosing between your children what you ask me!

OUR SENSES

What do you need to feel most creative?

I work a lot based on raw emotions: anything can be a trigger for a desire to create. This can be music, text, a landscape, or the work of another artist …

My sources of inspiration are unlimited and often unexpected, but they all have a common implication of the senses, mostly the sight, but the hearing and the touch are also playing a big part.

TUTORIAL

Explain to us, step by step how you bring life to your rabbit!

The first step is 3D modeling. It all happens on computer: I use the Blender software. Creating an object in volume on a flat screen requires good vision in space, and a certain capacity for abstract thinking.

When I am satisfied with the 3D object, I use another software to virtually “unfold” it: Pepakura. This makes it possible to obtain a printable pattern, and to arrange the various facets to optimize the feasibility of the next step: the assembly.

The next step is printing the pattern. Then the object transitions from the virtual world to reality … But, there is still much to do: cut out each piece, fold it and paste it one by one in order to reconstitute the object in volume.

Et voilà 😉

Eva Magill_Oliver Interview IMPRESSION ORIGINALE
Introducing

Nice to meet you Eva. Who are you?

I’m a mixed visual artist.

I have always worked in and around the art field since I graduated from college, but have put all of my energy over the past 4-5 years into developing and growing my business as an independent artist, focusing my attention on large scale abstracts and graphic nature-inspired paper drawings and collages.

Meet Eva

Hello!

“My strongest wish is for the health and happiness of my family and friends. I always wish much success to all artists that are out there trying to inspire, create, and make their voice heard.”

UNE AMERICAINE A PARIS

Tell us about your expatriation in France. What do you miss most of all?

In 2007, I moved to Paris to join my fiancé who was pursuing his MBA at HEC Paris. I left quite happily to live with him in anticipation of a new life and new adventures. Hardly knowing the French language at all, things in the beginning were quite challenging to say the least.

In time though, things fell into place. I studied the language, made new friends, and soaked in as much of the French culture as I could. I miss everything from those times, but certain things I miss the most are – first and foremost, les brocantes. I adored how every weekend in a new “quartier”, I could peruse all of the beautiful objects from linens to antiques to artwork. A close second are the museums. Being able to take the metro to view beautiful, historic works of art and then be back at my apartment in the space of a few hours was like being in a dream. People in large cities should never take this opportunity for granted.

Being a vegan in Paris, I also miss one of my favourite “restos” in the 4eme, Le Potager Du Marais near Le Centre Pompidou.

ARTY NOTEBOOKS

The “notebooks” are key to your work, can you explain why you

choose this medium. Is it an artwork in itself / or a means to an end?

Keeping sketchbooks and journals has always been a regular practice of mine. I love the tangible aspect of sketchbooks and books in general. I think it is important for an artist to keep one in an effort to record ideas and inspirational imagery that can often be fleeting. The art and usage of the sketchbook has evolved a bit for me over the past year or so, but quite naturally. Doing these sketchbook “assemblages” incorporates my love of design, art, and photography, while at the same time highlighting texture, pattern, shape, and line.

I also have been interested and encouraged to continue to do the sketchbooks because I believe they represent the true soul of an artist. They are not polished or framed or residing in an elegant home – they are simple, humble, and sincere. All qualities I hope to express and emulate myself.

A PLACE CALLED HOME

You are currently living in Alpharetta,

what is happening there?

My family and I moved to Atlanta last Summer from Asheville, NC. The move was bittersweet for me. I knew I would miss the beautiful mountains, landscapes, and certainly the great friends I had made there. But I also knew moving to a larger city would bring new opportunities for both me and my family.

SKIN GEMS

We can’t help but notice your incredible tattoos. Can you tell us a story about one of them?

Ha! It’s funny actually, they have become so much a part of me and who I am that I forgot about them until someone brings them up.

Eva Magill_Oliver Interview IMPRESSION ORIGINALE

They all are very personal to me, and fairly private, but the last one I got is a simple mountain landscape. It represents Asheville, NC where I recently moved from. It was bittersweet as I truly loved the town and friends I made there in the three years that we lived there.

Now with the tattoo, I can always be reminded of the people, experiences, and memories of that special place.

BEHIND THE SCENES

An afternoon with Eva in her studio

Eva has agreed to work her magic on one of her notebook with IMPRESSION ORIGINALE design paper wrap. She has come up with an incredible and very personnal interpretation of the “A thousand and one Roses Wrap” from Monika Forsberg and “Optical Wave Wrap” from Matt Chase.

She lives in a fairly quiet and small neighbourhood, so from her studio you mainly hear birds and neighbourhood kids playing. Even though Eva loves music, she can’t seem to play it while painting. She prefers to be in her own mind and thoughts, which helps her to focus on the task at hand.

As far as smells, Eva loves coffee, so it smells that in addition to paints and other materials that surround her in the studio.

IF EVA WAS A COLOR

If colours were emotions, which one would you be?

Probably a deep blue – generally, blues remind me of the ocean that I grew up very close to on the coast of South Carolina. It brings a sense of calm, reflection, peacefulness, and quiet. All things that I strive to find in myself and in my daily life. I also love how dark colors stand strong on their own, yet highlight and enhance surrounding colors – the kind of relationship I would like to find with myself and those around me.
