STREET ART: Edgar Mueller and other amazing artists

WHEN it comes to 3D street art, there is no greater artist with more street cred than Edgar Mueller. His artworks will convince you that you are about to fall into the depths of the earth and send that near-death tingly feeling shooting up your spine. It's quite eery at times tbh (to be honest).

But there are other street artists out there that try to follow in the master's footsteps. I have huge respect for those who can transform a dull, crumbling wall into something beautifully abstract or surreal. I've also always wondered how skillful artists view the world in general. I can't help but believe that their neurons are somehow wired differently, and that they perceive the world quite differently from us "normal" folk. Perhaps we need to examine their art carefully to better understand their worlds.

Unfortunately I can't say where the following street art originated from. I don't even know who the street artists behind these great works art (apart from one distinguishable Edgar Mueller masterpiece). Who art thou? I received the street art images below via one of those viral emails that's going around like the flu. All trace of their origin has been lost and the street artists themselves were too humble to add their signatures to their works. Yet this shouldn't prevent us from appreciating such amazing street art as this:

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!

Crevasse

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.

"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.
