Posterzine® Issue 094 | Owen Gildersleeve

Gaining the spotlight in Posterzine®'s 94th issue is the skilled paper cutting expert Owen Gildersleeve. With expert application of light and shadow, Owen masterfully brings his pieces to life -- you can almost hear the crunch of fallen leaves in his autumn-themed artwork for the Guardian, or feel the fizz of an erupting Fanta bottle in his work for the Coca-Cola Company. His work, with its tactile and sensory qualities, has earned him commissions from a wide range of clients including Apple, Sephora, and NASA. In this interview, Owen shares his journey into handcrafted illustration, the growing popularity of paper art, and how his family life intersects with his work.
