MARC HAGAN-GUIREY<br />
SOHO KIRIGAMI, <strong>2014</strong><br />
Kirigami in lightbox<br />
Artist Marc Hagan-Guirey - otherwise known as ‘Paper Dandy’ - describes himself as a<br />
‘paper architect’. Using single pieces of A4 paper - and no glue - he is famed for creating<br />
sculptures of buildings based on locations from cult horror movies.<br />
Presented within light boxes, by night the silhouetted paper sculptures appear as spectral and<br />
ethereal as the buildings on screen. By day, the works exist in their pure white and tangible<br />
forms – displaying an innocent and simple beauty and highlighting their physical construction.<br />
As a long-term supporter of <strong>Terrence</strong> <strong>Higgins</strong> <strong>Trust</strong>, Hagan-Guirey has created this special<br />
one-off piece for <strong>The</strong> <strong>Auction</strong> <strong>2014</strong>. It encapsulates the cheeky spirit of the charity and the<br />
sexy shenanigans of a typical night out in Soho.<br />
£3,000 - £4,000<br />
Donated by: Marc Hagan-Guirey<br />
