REZINE 69 Freehand’z Light Painting

April 9, 2013 by Jason D. Page

Light Painting artist Rezine 69 has put out a book called Freehand’z. He has been working with light for more than 10 years, I recently caught up with Rez to talk about his new book that shows off some innovative and imaginative images like these…



LPP ∇ For those that may not know your work whats your name and/or alias?

R69 ∇ I m REZINE 69, (crew graffiti AOC, EP , LOTUS , KS)

LPP ∇ Do you work alone or with a crew?

R69 ∇ I work alone but I make collaborations with other artist and photographers, it depends on the project. I worked with G.Plisson for the my first book LIGHTGRAFF exit in 2007 with the Parisian editor GRAFF IT productions and collaboration with Marko 93, Kalaam , Hassan Massoudy , DETER on 2 years.

I worked with Daniel Schweizer on an advertising project for Heineken I have worked with Vichy, with Olivier Passerat, and Break Dancers. I also did a Collaboration With Pokemon crew (world Champion)

LPP ∇ How long have you been light painting?

R69 ∇ I have been lightpainting since 1999 and say more lightgraff, like an occupation of decor. I made light paintings when I worked in studio and created all the images.

LPP ∇ How did you discover light painting?

R69 ∇ It was the photographer Axel Card who showed me the technique. We worked together for 3 years on the light graph in the factory and in the city of Lyon. The first photo of my second book Freehandz light painting.

LPP ∇ Tell me about your new book Freehand’z, what is it all about?

R69 ∇ It s like a retrospective selection of images,“Freehand’z” presents more 10 years of experimentations of light photography, combining multiple disciplines such as calligraphy, graffiti and some innovative projection technics pushing the limits of this booming photographic art form, producing compositions of a rare choregraphic complexity and a breathtaking aesthetic.

LPP ∇ Are there any tutorials or light painting tips in the book?

R69 ∇ Not really, I try to discovered the new ways to use this technique. I used a videoprojector for the last part Mixmedias. I think its more interesting to discovered the materials that are a important part of the technique too.

LPP ∇ Your work has a very unique style to it, what drew you to this style of light painting?

R69 ∇ My work is a combination of calligraphy, 3D graffiti, technological, and architectural elements which aims to convey the concept of “mutation”, calling upon the viewer to immerse himself in a parallel consciousness and relationship to the world. I have been particularly inspired by surrealism in the sense that one thing can compose another and futurist concepts. My work deals with the notion of transformation of men and nature by the continuous scientific and technologic progress in a consumerist society lead by mass media and advertising. These elements combine to allow for a progressive reading of the image, dependent upon the viewer’s position in relation with the photography. A letter can comprise characters within buildings within which characters are also illustrated, who can themselves compose a faces.

LPP ∇ So now that your book is out there, What are you working on?

R69 ∇ Now Im working on a project with Swit lightgraff for museum, events, and exhibitions.

LPP ∇ Cant wait to see it, thanks for the time. Your images are insane!

The Light Painting World Exhibition: A Personal Account by Light Painting Photographer Eric Mellinger

October 5, 2012 by Jason D. Page

The Light Painting World Exhibition: A Personal Account by Eric Mellinger

About two years ago, I connected with a Russian light painter, Sergey Churkin, who goes by “Chukos” in the Flickr universe. We commented on each other’s work and became Flickr buddies and Facebook friends, as is normal in the social media outlets. Last year, Sergey planned a trip to New York City where I live, and we met along with David Schlaich and a few other willing light junkies for two nights of light painting madness around Central Park and Roosevelt Island. During this meet up, Sergey told me he had an idea for a light painting exhibition of some of the best light painters in the world, and that the exhibition should be on plasma screens instead of having works printed on paper. He told me he was thinking about starting a guild of sorts called the “Light Painting World Alliance” (LPWA) and asked me if I was interested in joining and if I could pitch the idea here in New York. I thought these were great ideas and gave an emphatic yes to everything!

I did not have much luck in my pitches as most New York exhibition spaces are very snobbish in their acceptance of new ideas, but Sergey persevered. In just one year, he managed to attract some of the biggest talents in light painting to join the alliance and post an amazing portfolio of images on the LPWA website www.lpwalliance.com. Most impressively, Sergey received sponsorship for a major exhibit in Russia. Getting sponsorship is challenging enough, but Sergey managed to get an exhibit in the Central House of Artists, the largest and most visited art exhibition space in Russia! With technical sponsor, Philips, Sergey’s vision of an exhibit on plasma screens was realized this past weekend, with 58 artists displaying 100 individual light painting photographs. There is no doubt that this was the biggest group show and most comprehensive collection of master light paintings displayed under one roof in history. I was fortunate enough to have two of my works displayed, as well as travel to this historic event.

The Central House of Artists looks like a massive U.S.A. convention hall! The enormous space contains a permanent gallery of 20th century master Russian painters, including three enormous Kandinsky originals that I had only seen in books. The building is surrounded by sculptures of all sizes and styles and is located across the street from Gorky Park in the center of Moscow. LPWA’s exhibition was part of Moscow’s “Circle of Light” festival, which included laser light shows in Gorky Park, the Central House of Artists and in Red Square, along with a who’s who of innovative professional lighting organizations from around the world.

After an unusually warm and sunny afternoon on Friday, clouds rolled in and a downpour ensued just as the light show began last Friday night. I spent most of the event protecting my gear from wayward umbrellas and the driving rain while also trying to snap a few shots. I managed to get in a fairly decent shot of the finale. The enormous fabric globe was illuminated by computerized projections. For all the “orbers” out there, this was the orb of all orbs! At about 15 meters high, the ball was the centerpiece of the Red Square light show, with the surrounding buildings and laser and pyrotechnic show being used to draw more attention to the globe.

While I was off getting drenched at the light show (and afterwards being initiated into how Russians drink vodka), the light painting exhibition opened at the Central House of Artists. The crowds were large! The exhibition space attracted approximately 5,000 to 7,000 visitors each day, and there was never a time when LPWA’s exhibit wasn’t packed with visitors taking snapshots on their iPhones and admiring the works. In fact, there is no question that LPWA’s show was the most popular attraction of all!

While the admirers were asking Sergey questions about how light painting was done, LPWA had a photo booth set up where the St. Petersburg artist known as Light Graffiti took portraits of visitors who wanted to experience light painting first-hand. People waited over two hours just to have their portraits taken!

The exhibition included works from light painting legends, Eric Staller, Jozef Sedlak, Vicki DaSilva, Kamil Varga and John Hesketh. Legends using film! This website’s very own Jason Page had two works shown, as well as well-known light painters, many of them recognized on this site! The complete list of artists is as follows:

During the exhibition I was able to meet the Russian light painting couple, Hory Ma, who were absolutely delightful in person as much as their portraits were a delight to see visually. Also, Dan Whitaker (aka quornflake) from the United Kingdom was there. Dan and I got the opportunity to do an evening of collaborative light painting on Saturday night with Sergey Churkin, who was doing the driving and getting lost on our way to the University of Moscow and the new skyscraper district under lots of construction.

Unfortunately, all things come to an end. The exhibition concluded on Sunday evening with dozens of disappointed people still waiting in line to have their light painting portraits taken. Despite running out of time for the fans, LPWA’s exhibition was an absolute success. Sergey and the LPWA Advisory Board will be looking for new venues in which light painting and LPWA member artists’ works can be promoted, as well as collaborative projects and sources of revenue. Given the success of this first event, there is no doubt in my mind that LPWA and its artists will have much to contribute to the art form in the future and big things will happen!

I would be remiss if I didn’t make some shameless plugs. First, if there are interested experienced light painters that wish to join LPWA, please head to the website and register. Registration is free right now! Also, if anyone has more specific questions about LPWA or is interested in pitching the concept of an international exhibition at a major venue in your area, please get in touch with me at ericmellinger4@gmail.com.

Keep the torches burning bright!
