Amazing 3D Street Art Collection | Frog's Digital Design Blog. Unbelievable Anamorphic Illusion. Anamorphosis is a distorted projection or perspective requiring the viewer to use special devices or occupy a specific vantage point to reconstitute the image. Between 11 and 25 March 2007, Swiss artist Felice Varini and his team created an unusual piece of public art that is set to baffle and fascinate visitors to Cardiff Bay barrage.

The piece, entitled 3 Ellipses for 3 Locks, was commissioned by arts agency CBAT for the Cardiff Harbour Authority and cost $50,000. A series of three yellow ellipses have been painted onto the working locks, gates and even the outer sea wall to create a piece that took a year to plan. All you have to do to see Felice Varini's 'anamorphic illusion' properly formed, is find a precise vantage point somewhere on the barrage. Here's what it looks like: Felice Varini was born in 1952 in Locarno, Switzerland. His work spans several decades at an international level. -- Source:

Can I buy one? According to Wikipedia, Banksy does not sell photos of street graffiti (why should anyone be interested in buying PHOTOS of graffiti in the first place?). Technique He mentions in his book, ‘Wall and Piece‘, that as he was starting to do graffiti that he was always too slow and was either caught or could never finish the art in the one sitting. Enough of the theory, I’m sure most of you know more about him and will share it in the comment section. Washing (Image credits banksy via boredpanda)
