art at its best.

German artist Edgar Mueller and his 3d pavement art. They are massive optical illusions captured by a camera lense at a correct angle to create that dimensional look. It took him 12 days to finish one piece with only acrylic wall paint.

Examples of his work:

The crevasse: Pictured at a one point perspective; featured in Ireland.

The giant fissure: 12 hours a day, 5 days a week for completion; featured in german town of Geldern.

The giant fissure: Passerbys posing within the artwork to create a fuller realistic view.

His inspiration comes from the British 'Pavement Picasso' Julian Beever who previously had done 3d street art.

Examples of his work:

Both are truly amazing artists with extraordinary talents. After checking out more of their work, I can't help but wonder how much creativity they have to think of exactly what to draw. In particular with the first artist, it would've been very difficult to keep referring to the image seen in the camera to present a perfect one point perspective. Street art is NICEEEE. :)
