Noir and Neo Noir
Big Shadows offers a unique selection of artwork, clothing, and other items inspired by the film noir and neo noir genres.
Classic film noir movies and more modern neo noir films are referenced in the work here, but I also view noir as an aesthetic that can apply to a wide range of subjects and environments. Crow noir, cat noir, alien noir, cyborg noir, underwater noir - the only limits are my fevered imagination and skills.
“In Greek tragedy, they fall from great heights. In noir, they fall from the curb.”
― Dennis Lehane
