Amazing 3D optical illusion street art

April 15th, 2011 · Hannah · No Comments

Kurt Wenner is an artist and an architect who is renowned for his incredible street art in which he uses equations and mathematical skill to create three-dimensional street paintings around the world. His paintings are an optical illusion which, from certain angles makes the pavement or street that he has used as a canvass look 3D. Examples of Kurt’s work and more information on him can be seen on the Telegraph website.

Kurt creates his art work by using complex calculations which he originally used in his job at NASA, where he would create conceptual drawings of extraterrestrial landscapes. However, since the introduction of computer generated images Kurt is now one of the last artists with this skill of mechanically replicating perspectives using equations without the use of a computer. His work can be found on pavements and streets in destinations all around the world and have become popular tourist attractions for many. Kurt’s work is certainly inspirational and fascinating to look at but the intelligence and skill that is paired with it is truly amazing.
