Ruth Van Beek, a queen of abstract art, has taken a fascination with dogs and folding paper to create images in which the dogs seem to levitate. She works primarily from a growing archive of found photography, and by applying artistic techniques to cut and folded paper,  she reinvents the original image through distortion.  This series of work is entitled The Levitators appears in an issue of Four & Sons, a glossy biannual publication dedicated to a collision of culture and dogs. In the issue, Van Beek says, “By cutting and folding found photographs, I try to bring these dogs back to life, but instead of releasing them, I restrain them again in a new shape by changing their form, scale and colour. Each of these dogs posed patiently for the camera and their owner.”
