Amazing Cooking Strainer Portraits Mysteriously Pop Up in London

If you're walking around London and see a cooking strainer in the shape of a human face popping out of the pavement, don't worry -- you aren't just imagining things. As part of his 'Cement Bleak' series, Spanish-born artist <a title="Amazing Portraits on Cooking Strainers Mysteriously Pop Up in London's Streets" href="http://isaac.alg-a.org/" target="_blank">Isaac Cordal</a> has been producing intricate sculptures using standard mesh cooking strainers. When light hits the mesh strainer it leaves the mysterious shadow of a human face on the sidewalk.

A bit creepy but extremely poetic, Isaac Cordal's public art started a few years ago in London.

His urban installations consist of casting shadows from the metal cooking strainers' faces onto the floor, using the soft low-energy streetlight.

The strainers, fixed to the floor from its handle, project some mysterious looking faces that seem to be casted from dolls and even statues.

Made by hand using dark-sweet imagination, ‘Cement Bleak’ works best during the night.

The shadows change following the light's many angles and intensity, making one carved face seems like plenty of people.

We like ‘Cement Bleak’ because is a simple project that use little and standard materials but yet, creates a big impact.
