It doesn’t take much to create amazing art if you’re creative and resourceful enough, and Kuronushi is a case in point. This Japanese artist found viral fame thanks to his epic celebrity portraits, which see him using nothing but cardboard and shadows to create something truly extraordinary.

Kuronushi decided to start experimenting with “shadow art” after noticing how impressive the shadow of his daughter looked when projected on a wall. The 23-year-old artists started looking for ways to replicate that magic and decided to use cardboard as a canvas.

His creative process now involves cutting hundreds of pieces of cardboard and later gluing them together to craft his amazing dioramas. They look pretty ordinary at first, but the real magic happens when he rotates them to reveal their true nature, positioning them at the perfect angle to let them cast shadows that will blow your mind.

Kuronushi’s art is mostly rooted in popular culture, and we’ve seen him craft dioramas inspired by his favorite movies, such as Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean. He also paid homage to many of his favorite soccer players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Neymar.

“Shadow art” is just a hobby for Kuronushi so he only shared a few celebrity portraits since starting his Instagram page, but that didn’t stop him from attracting over 360,000 followers.

You won’t find Vincent Bal’s art hanging in a museum. In fact, even if you’ll see it on paper, you probably won’t understand it. That’s because Bal is an artist that draws with shadows.

Bal is a filmmaker and illustrator from Antwerp, Belgium who one day decided to experiment with a new form of art. He picked up some scraps and everyday objects, put them on paper and took a good, long look at their shadows. Where others would see the shadow of a wine glass or an old keychain, Bal saw people and places. So he started drawing the thing he saw in the shadow, and thus Shadowology was born.

Shadowology is something between an art piece and a game. Bal draws his shadow doodles, then removes the object from the paper. The doodles become simple lines on the paper without the shadow to outline them. Bal turns on his camera and films the confusing doodle, and then place the shadow-casting object back on the paper. Right in front of the eyes of his viewers, the lines become a face, a dancing couple, a furry animal.

Bal has been posting his shadow doodles on IG and has recently published a book of his creations. His shadow doodles bring a smile to the faces of thousands of people every day.
