In order to paint, it is not necessary to stock up on paints and brushes. Sometimes a pile of various rubbish and the right lighting are enough for this. Well, talent, of course, and also courage. Well, it will not turn out from a person who is afraid of his own shadow, a master of shadow art ("shadow art")! The British Tim Noble and Sue Webster turned out to be such masters.
We have already spoken many times about artists, sculptors and installation masters who use shadow in their art. Among them are Japanese artist Kumi Yamashita and Belgian Fred Eerdekens, shadow artists such as Henrietta Swift and Christopher Smith. Tim Noble and Sue Webster will proudly continue this roster of masters of chiaroscuro.
In order to create their stunning "shadow art", the tandem had a chance to master both the skill of installation and lighting, because the main thing in this art is competently directed light. And then any thing can become a real masterpiece. In the case of our creators, these things often become piles of rubbish, leftovers and other nonsense that craftsmen find on the streets of London.
The famous talent collector Charles Saatchi is a big fan of such unusual creativity. Therefore, shadow art exhibitions performed by Tim Noble and Sue Webster are often held in Saatchi Gallery.
