After having been living and working as a ceramic artist in China for years, Chris Rekrutiak took on papercuts as another medium to demonstrate his artistic talent.

Paper cut is a traditional form of folk art in China. Paper cut artists, using the unique fold-and-cut technique, illustrate their daily lives, folklore, and their religious beliefs. Chris uses the same technique and takes paper cuts to a different dimension and meaning. His work is about modern life and cultural dynamics. What the works present is provocative visual reference of the everything-goes pop culture, which has made its way into a transforming society such as China, and fused with traditional aesthetics. Through his work, the age old craft 
transforms to an ultra-modern visual medium.
