Rashad Alakbarov Paints with Shadows and Light

Artist Rashad Alakbarov from Azerbaijan uses suspended translucent objects and other found materials to create light and shadow paintings on walls. The best part is that you can easily create something similar at home – all you need is one or two lamps and some items from your desk.

The stunning light painting below, made with an array of colored airplanes has found its way to exhibitions like the Fly to Baku at De Pury Gallery in London.

Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.

    The last image is by Tim Noble and Sue Webster. Just google them to see how much this guy is ripping them off, and badly…

    • chrisnoway says :

      i have to agree with you it is a rip off idea of Tim and Sue whom no doubt got their idea from an existing idea called shadow theater, theirs is just an articulation of that pre existing ancient art form, bravo to them for rekindling it in their own particular way.
