The true power of art lies in its ability to captivate us unexpectedly, and graphic artist Damon Belanger embodies this concept flawlessly in Redwood City, California. With an ingenious approach, Belanger skillfully manipulates the shadows cast by everyday street objects, magically transforming them into surreal scenarios that defy conventional perception.
Damon was commissioned to install 20 of these fake shadow paintings in the downtown of Redwood City to encourage creativity in the area. And so far it’s working brilliantly: “The shadows give regular mundane objects a lively spirit so people can have a little fun in their everyday life,” says the artist. He creates the shadows by chalking stencils onto the sidewalk before painting them with dark gray paint
