CHALK ART: 3D Street Art that will blow your mind!
THE great Edgar Mueller is a master street artist who uses chalk and the street as his canvas to create the most amazing 3D artworks. Working together with up to five assistants, Mueller paints all day long from sunrise to sunset.
Mueller says his inspiration comes from the British Pavement Picasso Julian Beever, whose dramatic but more gentle 3D street images have been featured in the Daily Mail and several other British publications.
I wanted to play with positives and negatives to encourage people to think twice about everything they see, says Mueller. I like to think that later, when they return home, they might reflect more on what a frightening scenario it was and say, “wow, that was actually pretty scary" - Edgar Mueller.
It's really difficult to convince your brain that these artworks are on flat surfaces!
Edgar Mueller - Amazing street art
Mueller spent five days, working 12 hours a day, to create this 250 square meter image of the crevasse, which, when viewed from the correct angle, appears to be 3D. He then persuades passers-by to complete the illusion by pretending the gaping hole is real.

The artwork above appeared on the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland as part of the town's Festival of World Cultures.
"It was a very scary scene, but when people saw it they had great fun playing on it and pretending to fall into the earth" - Edgar Mueller.
