Melting Building Mural
May 11, 2007 by Vurdlak
Richard Murphy helped me remember of a mural I had intention writing more about. It is trompe-l'oeil which is at Georges V Ave. in Paris, France. Trompe-l'oeil is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects really exist, instead of being just two-dimensional paintings. It is the same principle all those pavement artists like Eduardor Relero and Julian Beever are governed by. It is derived from French for "trick the eye", from tromper (to deceive) and l'oeil (the eye). These surely prove that the site wasn't photoshoped, like some of you thought. Yes, this is add-on to the original melting spot illusion. Richard added:"This building is on King George V in Paris, we found it by accident on way to Champs from tower and not seen it or heard of it before, hope you can use, its an amazing site to see."
I would also like to apologize because of the short down-time. We had some server problems, so the site was unavailable for few minutes. All is proper again. Enjoy!

hey....is this photoshopped?? looks liquified
WOW !!
GREAT lol that is very cool ;D
Man, could you imagine the accidents that causes for out-of-towners?? Wow ... that hurts my eyes, lol.
hahahahahahaha this is what global warming will do XP
The good thing about this buiding is when you see it in real, there have been blocks added and the decorative bits that make the balcony are infact concrete. This adds to the whole image, at first it looked like it had been boarded over maybe for construction work then realised it was just a cool building, if i ever start one of those window companys that replace your glass with wood, thats what i will do
By the way, thanks to the site owner for identifying the name of the place, and for everyone else, if your in Paris, make it a place to see

wow. farted didnt post a comment on this 1~~~~
i could do that in two sec w/ a simple photo editor.
It is not edited. We went there and saw it, and it is the coolest thing ever. And for people who are too stupid to believe it is edited, you should go there. And besides, if it was photoshopped, then why aren't the cars and trees wiggly too??
For all the people who think they're so smart, "oh i could do that myself with a photo editor" We went there and it is the coolest thing ever. Don't be so sure you are right, because if you say it, you are probably wrong. Besides, if it was photoshopped, then why aren't the cars and trees wiggly too??
