Julian Beever a UK artist is known all over the world for his pavement
drawings, more especially his 3D illusions, drawn in a special distortion to
create an impression of 3D when seen from one particular viewpoint.
He developed his 3 dimensional or
"anamorphic" pavement drawings out of curiosity and a love of the
medium.. These became well known in early 2000’s and commercial
commissions followed.
"I
got started when I was in a pedestrian street in Brussels where an old garden
had been removed. This left an unusual rectangle of paving slabs which gave me
the idea to convert this in to a drawn swimming pool in the middle of the high
street! It worked so well I tried other variations such as a well with people
falling in. I soon realized that if you could make things appear to go into the
pavement you could equally make them appear to stand out of it." says
Beever.
Each drawing must be seen from one special viewpoint and if the viewer
moves from it the illusion is lost and the drawing becomes an unrecognizable
distortion.
"My
work appeals literally to the man (and woman) in the street and is not confined
in galleries or limited by the gallery system". says Beever.
These are some of my favorites from his collection. To see more of
