archeologists to film directors, from football Hall-Of-Famers to remote viewers - Lakey’s collection of interesting people and his selection criteria are as diverse and idiosyncratic as the work. Silhouettes & Shadows subjects also include an author, a creative director, a socialite, a gallery owner, a celebrity photographer, numerous actors, an alien abductee, a magazine publisher and other fine artists from the Silhouettes & Shadows private collection.

As Silhouettes & Shadows takes macro- and microscopic turns, portraits begin to emerge. Employing 2D animation and virtual camera software, viewers are transported over the strange and beautiful surfaces of paintings as if in a dream. Undulating flyovers and hovering close-ups introduce us to hidden regions of the artist’s work.

The film also explores several other subject areas Andy Lakey is pursuing including his “Livestock Collection” which features humorously deadpan bovine portraiture, and “The Unencountered” which present us with strange spacemen and other alien forms. The film also takes us inside the studio of the artist; we see him painting in a HazMat suit with breathing apparatus, protecting himself from the toxic painting materials which nearly killed him after a decade of continuous painting.
