apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Look! Trompe-l'œil Wall Mural

062408_facade1.jpgA few months back, we got email forwards of Julian Beever's crazy chalk paintings that put Dick Van Dyke to shame. Now here's a mystery artist who is doing something similar, except in homes. Even if this style may not be your cup of tea, check out his impressive perspective and painting skills. More photos after the jump!

Terrific. I wonder if there are any trompe l'oeil designs being done out there that fit into a modern decor.

p.s. Beever's anamorphosis view drawings show the incredible perspective only from one angle. Move two feet in either direction and they look like a distorted Dali drawing. People walking past his work often have no idea what the picture is until they hit the sweet spot. Genius!

Ingenious!!!

Perfect illusions to expand esp. small(&cool) apartment, you can have a pool, yard, the view of ocean, mountain, antarctica, galaxy...even the entire universe!

Incredible. That guy is super talented. Younger version of Graham Rust? Those outlets look European.
