Rashad Alakbarov's Paintings Live in the Shadows of the Objects That Created Them
By Rain Noe - January 25, 2012
From the You've got to be kidding me department: Azerbaijan-based artist Rashad Alakbarov creates images by setting up ordinary objects (sometimes suspended in mid-air via wires) and shining a light onto them, turning the wall behind them into a canvas "painted" with light and shadows.
Lucky Londonites can catch Alakbarov's work at the Phillips de Pury Gallery, where it's on display as part of the currently-running "Fly to Baku" group show. But hurry—show closes January 29th.
