Shadows and Light: Mosaic Jazz Improvisation with Alessandro Lugari
Talking about shapes, light and shadow.
The relationship between lightness, darkness, and how shapes and silhouettes can send an image to the mind which immediately discovers it and assimilates it to something it knows and recognizes.
The first fundamental thing for the success of the project is jazz music.
Using a strong light source, shadows will be projected on a light surface, like Chinese puppetry shadows. Then, following the rhythm of the music, participants will construct the mosaic shapes created with the light, deciding whether to work with a dark color on a light background or vice versa.
Direct method using stones, rocks, glass, and other elements.
the first examples of pictorial representations made by man are silhouettes, forms that reproduce animals and men themselves in various attitudes. a few millennia later, when painting evolves, mosaics start from those images, from those forms.
At the beginnig of mosaic history we can find pebble mosaics made in geometrical patterns or in shapes, silouettes….:
