Chi non conosce Julian Beever? Almeno una volta ci sarà capitato di vedere via email la sua arte da marciapiede.
Julian Beever è un artista inglese che dipinge sui marciapiedi col gesso, creando spettacolari effetti 3d. I suoi trompe l'oeil sono creati usando una proiezione/prospettiva distorta, chiamata anamorfosi, dove l'oggetto reale si osserva solo in determinate circostanze, in questo caso da una certa distanza.

Who doesn't know Julian Beever? A lot of chain e-mail show his works. Julian Beever is an English chalk artist who has been creating chalk drawings on pavement since the mid-1990s that create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the right location. These trompe-l'oeil drawings are created using a projection called anamorphosis and appear to defy the laws of perspective. Besides the 3D art, Beever paints murals and replicas of the works of masters and oil paintings, and creates collages. He is often hired as a performance artist and to create murals for companies.
