Portrait of Samuel Beckett (click photo for larger image)Simon Schubert (b. 1976) is an artist based in Cologne, Germany, where he was born. From 1997 to 2004, Schubert trained in sculpture at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Inspired by Surrealism as well as by Samuel Beckett, Schubert employs materials ranging from the simple to the sophisticated. Some of his most remarkable works have been created by simply folding white paper--from which three dimensional images emerge from two-dimensional surfaces.
