Julian Beever: The art of anamorphosis
May 4th 2006 13:05
Here's something a little more lighthearted than my last post. Thanks Amy for the inspiration.
Julian Beever is a British chalk artist who creates chalk drawings on pavement that create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the right location. These Trompe-l'oeil drawings are created using a projection called anamorphism and appear to defy the laws of perspective.
Besides the 3D art, Beever paints murals and replicas of the works of masters. He is often hired as a performance artist and to create murals for companies. Beever is interested in advertising and marketing, as well. He has worked in the UK, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, the USA and Australia.
The pictures really are a lot of fun, adding a splash of colour and whimsy to those cold, grey London mornings.

I just feel like I'd need to be there and try and walk around the Coke to actually believe its two-dimensional!
*phew* thought it might have been another dead kids artist =P
