I’ve seen a lot of amazing artwork this year, and before ending 2009… Here is an example of how to re-use trash and other materials to create stunning shadow art! It is incredibly done by Tim Noble and Sue Webster.

Notes about the artists (from Opus):

Webster describes the work of the duo as ‘your worst nightmare of what art can be’. Certainly, the pair have little regard for convention, mining the aesthetics of the fairground tattoo and the Las Vegas light show, the shopping mall and the rubbish dump.

They joined forces in their university days at Nottingham Polytechnic and since then have continued to work together, sharing the same fascination with the media and advertising industries; and together have tried being poor, starving artists while Britart became increasingly hip. Noble and Webster utilise a number of different media to visually challenge the relations between the spectacular, the serious and the entertaining.
