Year of the Dragon

by Nicole Grosjean

I have always loved the intricate details captured in traditional Lunar New Year paper crafts. This piece is an homage to those traditions, artists, and this year’s creature the dragon. The border is cut from cherry wood, backed by rice paper, and decorated with laser etched wood dragons detailed in gold. A red and gold cut paper dragon floats above a holographic metallic background that shifts in the light. The piece is framed in a very shiny black lacquer frame, and is protected with museum glass. I hope you have a wonderful Year of the Dragon!

Nicole Grosjean

Nicole Grosjean graduated with a BFA in illustration from the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Denver, Colorado in 2008. She combines her passions for fantasy and craftsmanship into unique, multi-layered works of art. To her, there is nothing more valuable than an object an artist has created with their own hands. She endeavors to build pieces that are not only illustrations, but wonderfully complex environments in their own right. Nicole is constantly trying new techniques and pushing the boundaries of materials and mediums to bring her visions to life.

Her sculptural illustrations are patterned from detailed drawings, hand-cut, and then layered to create various depths depending on the size of the piece. The layers are then painted in watercolor and gouache, and are often back lit with LED lights.
