Exploding Spray paint sculpture by Julien Valle.

From Canadian graphic designer, Julien Valle comes this piece he calls ‘Paper sculpture,’ admittedly, not really a creative name but still an amazing piece of work I wished to share with you.

This creatively clever sculpture gives a whole new 3D life to the spray can and the culture that revolves around it. Colour explodes from an otherwise, matte, black surface, whilst on the other side of the ‘canvas’ is the humble spray can.

Tell us a little about yourself, where are you from and where are you living now?

I was born and raised in Armenia during the Soviet Union era, came to America at the age of 10 and have been happily living in Glendale California ever since.
Frequently I fantasize of living in New York, but the weather keeps pulling me back to Cali.
