Layered paper box art with deep spatial illusion

• Patrick Hughes Known for “reverspective” paintings—his works physically protrude from the wall but are painted in a way that makes them appear to recede. While not exactly pop-up, his mind-bending spatial illusions tap into a similar fascination with depth. • Joseph Cornell Famous for his box assemblages, Cornell didn’t work on canvas but created layered dioramas in shallow boxes, often with a poetic, narrative quality. His work captures that “storybook” feel with physical depth. • Béatrice Coron Specializes in cut paper and layered silhouettes, often backlit or layered to create spatial depth. Her work sometimes mimics the unfolding nature of pop-up books, especially when mounted in shadowboxes or against light
