Really wonderful spatial trickery. We love these wall graphics. Reminds us of the work of minimalist artist Fred Sandback...

We couldn't dig up any additional information on this work, but it looks like fun. Just the sort of stuff you imagine doing yourself at some point and then say, "nah"...

pssssttt! There's this thing called Photoshop... but I imagine it's not used much in the design world.

This looks like a Felice Varini.

Wow wow wow! I hope these are real and not Photoshopped. I love the idea that someone took the time and brainpower to figure this out and execute it!

I'm pretty sure they are all real. In addition to paint, they place colored film over objects (like TVs & windows). The French have this technique down—like Felice Varani, take a look at the work of photographer Georges Rousse. Most ppl won't believe it's real 'til they see it in person, or see how it was done.
