"Reflections Papercut Black (S)" by David Kracov presents a compelling and somber iteration of his tribute to September 11, using the striking contrast of a black background. This 3D multilayered papercut art captures the New York City skyline with a poignant focus on the Twin Towers. Against the dark backdrop, the butterflies – each meticulously cut from paper – stand out even more prominently, symbolizing the souls lost on that day. The black background enhances the emotional depth and the sense of loss, while the delicately crafted butterflies offer a stark yet beautiful reminder of hope and renewal. Kracov's choice of the black background in this version adds a layer of solemnity and reflection, inviting a deeper contemplation on the themes of memory, resilience, and the enduring human spirit.
Born in Boston, David Kracov studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and began his career in animation with the Brad Pitt feature, ‘Cool World.’ David went on to work with Disney Animation, Don Bluth Animation, Rich Animation, as well as several other studios, before beginning his solo work as a sculptor and painter. Kracov’s vibrant color palette shows up in his unique steel wall sculptures that begin with hundreds of small sketches. David’s meticulous steel work along with his scrutinizing attention to detail allows his sculptures to take on a life of their own, and his famous butterflies take flight. David’s playful and creative works are each a testament to his steady hand and wonderfully unique artistic ideas. His work brings joy and humor to pop art.
