Bottled Smoke Art by Jim Dingilian

Jim Dingilian uses candle smoke to paint picture-perfect images on the inside of empty bottles.



“The miniature scenes I depict are of locations on the edge of suburbia which seem mysterious or even slightly menacing despite their commonplace nature. The bottles add to the implied narratives of transgression. When found by the sides of roads or in the weeds near the edges of parking lots, empty liquor bottles are artifacts of consumption, delight, or dread. As art objects, they become hourglasses of sorts, their drained interiors now inhabited by dim memories”.

The artist burns the inside, then carefully etches away the residue, revealing imagery of trees, cars, and industrial landscapes within the confines of each bottle.

Soot Art by Steven Spazuk

French Canadian artist Steven Spazuk has developed a unique technique, which entails essentially burning a thick sheet of paper, and then manipulating the soot left behind to create these amazing monochromatic images.

He uses candles and torch flame to partially burn thick pieces of paper. Then he uses various tools to draw directly on the soot. A collection of burnt paper are gathered together to create the entire drawing.
