Sidewalks, Streets, Pavement & Walls Never Had It So Good – Julian Beever
Just look and see why so many of our visitors think this work is certifiably amazing.
Julian Beever is an artist in the U.K. who specializes in many things, including three dimensional optical illusions. They are fantastic and staggering works. Upon seeing them, it is not uncommon to stop in your tracks and re-examine his amazing and arresting pieces because he has mastered the ability to blend the real and surreal – with chalk.
English artist who’s famous for his art on the pavement of England, France, Germany, USA, Australia and Belgium.
Using Rembrandt pastels and a creative imagination, sidewalk traffic is baffled by the 3D look of these sidewalk renderings.
Some of the pieces are over thirty feet long but appear to be about three feet high.
Julian Beever is a British chalk artist who creates 3D chalk drawings on pavement using a projection called anamorphism that creates the illusion, or Trompe-l’oeil. His street paintings 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. Since 2004 a chain letter containing his art (sometimes mixed with similar art by Kurt Wenner) has been circulating the Internet. Many people have speculated that his work is a result of digital photoediting. These images are strikingly authentic. He also has some very nice wall murals.
