About this title

Synopsis

Danish artist Karen Bit Vejle uses her scissors as her brush when she creates beautiful images of art on paper. The art of psaligraphy is thousands of years old, with master artists in China and other areas of the Far East. This particular form of paper-cutting art hit Europe with the wave of Eastern influence in the 17th century. The Danish tradition of clipping images in paper is particularly strong in Scandinavia, and Karen Bit Vejle has worked to master the medium since she was a young girl. The last couple of years have seen her work grow in scope and sophistication, and Bit Vejle has been exhibited widely in her adopted home of Norway and abroad.
