3D Optical Illusion Street Art

From small, clever little pieces, to huge, visually stunning projects, 3D street art is always interesting to look at, and is becoming increasingly popular.  The foundations for these chalk or acrylic masterpieces are laid out with scientific precision in order to create the most realistic trompe l’oeil impression from a certain vantage point, and some of the bigger works can take a whole team of people working for days to complete.

Leaders in the game are artists Edgar Mueller, Kurt Wenner, Manfred Stader, and home-grown talent Julian Beever whose anamorphic pavement creations often serve an interactive purpose, allowing the public to integrate themselves into the depicted scene.

German Mueller is known for undertaking vast, impressive ventures, which often make a person appear as if they are standing on the edge of a gaping chasm or abyss.
