AMAZING STREET ART (pics)

Wednesday, August 29, 2012

This is art that is drawn on a FLAT SURFACE, a sidewalk, believe it or not!



The man in black is a real person walking across the art.

With his NASA background, perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that artist and architect Kurt Wenner has an out of this world imagination and the skills to bring passerby into the picture. When viewed from the correct angle, people standing on top of them look like they are floating in thin air, and solid concrete can look like gaping chasms. Kurt has been perfecting his technique since 1982. Now, using the skills he has perfected over 30 years, he is able to create stereoscopic images, such as the one above enabling people to walk along imaginary webs slung by Spiderman.


Talk about SuperSize It!


The guy on his knees is real. The rest is art.

    These are wonderful, and he's an amazing artist, isn't he? I too wish I could see some of his art in person, and I'd also love to see that documentary. Thank you, Karen, for posting this... I've seen a lot before online, but it's been a long time. Nice to refresh my memory of such unusual and outstanding work!

    They had a documentary on TV one night - forgot which channel it was, maybe Discover or something. It showed him painting those and how he did it - and what his methods to get that depth like he does. It was SUPER interesting to watch. The documentary's been on a couple of times now.

  I have seen his stuff before and it is mind blowing...what a talent and gift he has. I always wish I could see one in real life and also get to see others reactions to this incredible art work.
