Paintless Landscapes: Scenic Art Made of Light & Shadow
Paintless Landscapes: Scenic Art Made of Light & Shadow: [ By WebUrbanist in Art & Installation & Sound. ]
A collection of unlikely (often discarded) objects coupled with a light source can create amazing city scenes, landscapes, portraits and more in the hands of this artist.
Rashad Alakbarov hails from Azerbaijan and experiments with different materials and setups to turn three-dimensional trash into rich two-dimension displays of all shapes and sizes.
Some of these, including the top installation featured here, were on display last year at the Fly to Baku Contemporary Art Exhibition at the De Pury Gallery in London, UK.
A few pieces contain custom built-to-purpose shapes, like plastic versions of paper airplanes in the top example, while others simply draw on urban junk or everyday objects.
There is something playful and informal about his approach. Alakbarov takes inspiration from items at hand to start crafting skylines or other scenes that unfold partly from his imagination, but also in part from the nature of the materials in each case.

Antti Rautiola
Antti Rautiola:
Antti Rautiola is a painter and art director living in Helinski, Finland.
On his website and his blog you will find examples of his work in plein air landscape and studio paintings, including paintings of his family.
On his blog, in particular, you will find larger versions of his paintings, showing his loose, confident brushwork. He also has a number of process sequences, and frequently posts images of his plein air work in progress on location, something I particularly appreciate as I enjoy seeing how plein air painters select and develop their composition for a landscape.
Rautiola has a wonderfully restrained use of color and value. Some of this may be in his response to the subtle light characteristic of the northern latitudes, but his interpretation of it gives much of his work a particularly strong feeling of color harmony.
You can see some similarity in the character of the light in the paintings of fellow Finnish painter Arto Isolatalo, who I profiled in 2012 here on Lines and Colors, and from whose website links I found Rautiola’s work.
Antti Rautiola currently has a solo window exhibition at Postikatu 1, Helsinki.
