Lights and Shadows is a collection of artworks and music from Ivan Shopov, alongside photos from Ivo Christov. Contained within is a collection of contrasts – light against shadow, abstraction against reality and aggression against serenity. It’s a piece of art that shows how Ivan Shopov brings his creative visions to life through the simplicity of black ink upon white paper.
“Amazing record, some of the best albums i heard in 2011. So deep and delicate. Feels like flying over huge mountains, I love the Clouds Above track, lots of beautiful harmonics and little percussion beats. Wonderful record! “
