The play of light and shadow: an artist from Belgium creates drawings in an unusual way (Video)
An art project by the Belgian artist and filmmaker Vincent Bal is based on the play of light and shadow. In his works, objects that cast a shadow become the main ideological inspirers.
Once placing a fancy cup with an unusual spout on a piece of paper, Vincent Ball saw that it casts a shadow in the shape of an elephant. He just had to point it with a pencil and add details. This is how the first fancy drawing was created, where the shadow played its role.
This incidental observation he made about two years ago. Then he began to photograph his work and upload them to social networks. What surprised the Belgian artist was the large number of likes and comments. A casual experience gradually turned into a project that brought fame and money.
Gradually, Vincent Bal began to experiment, adding more and more color. He also found it necessary to replace natural light with professional photography equipment. The use of shadows performed by the Belgian became even more interesting.
