Jay sent me these magnificent murals done by the unknown artist (if you know who the artist is, please post). These photos look so real, that people really get confused. Trompe l’oeil is the phrase for these realistic murals, done in the same way Julian Beever paints sidewalks. I adore these kind of artistic expressions, since they not only have that illusion touch, but also show a great talent. This is what Jay wrote me:
Jay Kleinrichert: “These would fit somewhere in the “3D chalk drawings” category. Anyway, I’ve been a big fan of the site since I discovered your widget, checking it daily. I get inspired sometimes in my career as a graphic designer.”












that's a really nice painting
i probably would've walked right into that though ">.>
Attila asks,
Can one purchase a painting like this in the form of contact paper (etc.) to simply apply to a wall? I’d imagine this artist would definatly sell a lot of em’!
Honestly – I had a recurring dream a few years ago. In the dream I’d open my closet door and see – almost exactly what the artist has painted in this illusion.
Absolutely fabulous stuff!
Thanks everyone for the positive reactions on my work. Yes I am the painter who created these images. Want to see more: visit my site: http://www.vanhoef.com
I like the painting. It’s nice, and I would’ve walked right through it on purpose. ^_^.
