Tristan Hibberd
Combining the ancient Japanese art of origami with bold contemporary design, British artist Tristan Hibberd creates extraordinary three-dimensional artworks that celebrate colour, texture and craftsmanship.
With a background in furniture design and a lifelong connection to the art world, Tristan has developed a distinctive artistic style that sits somewhere between painting and sculpture. Graduating with First Class honours in Product and Furniture Design from Kingston University in 2019, his fascination with materials, form and construction continues to influence his creative approach.
Each artwork begins with individually hand-folded origami lotus flowers, carefully arranged to create intricate, textured surfaces. Often working with recycled paper, Tristan uses layers of colour and carefully applied spray paint to transform these delicate forms into striking contemporary compositions.
Drawing inspiration from popular culture, iconic symbols and the simplicity of recognisable imagery, his work brings a fresh perspective to traditional craftsmanship. From vibrant abstract arrangements to familiar cultural icons, each piece has a wonderful sense of depth and movement, inviting the viewer to look a little closer.
Playful, innovative and beautifully detailed, Tristan’s work challenges our expectations of what can be achieved with paper, creating original artworks that are as fascinating up close as they are striking from across the room.
