Imagine sitting down with a cup of coffee, and suddenly, you see an elephant in the shadow. That’s basically a normal day for Vincent Bal, a Belgian artist who’s turned casting shadows into a whole art form. Bal’s knack for spotting scenes hidden in the everyday (literally under his teacup) has given us “Shadowology” — a series that combines ordinary items with clever sketches to reveal all kinds of quirky characters and scenes.
From glasses that become a superhero mask to scissors that somehow transform into ballet dancers, each piece is a reminder that art is everywhere…if you’re willing to look for it. So check out these clever shadow scenes and see for yourself how Bal brings hidden worlds out of the shadows — quite literally.
