Incredible Street Art
What a piece of art!?
Artist?Edgar Mueller worked together with up to five?assistants,?painting all day long, from sunrise to sunset. ?
The picture?appeared on the?East Pier in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, as part of the town's Festival Of?World Cultures.
He spent five days, working 12 hours a day, ?to create the 250 square?metre image of the crevasse,?which when viewed from the correct angle, appears to be 3D.?
He then?persuaded passers-by to complete?the illusion by pretending the gaping hole was real.?
"I wanted to play with positives and ?negatives to encourage people to?think twice about everything?they see," he said. "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. I like to think that later,?when ?they returned home, they might?reflect more on what a frightening scenario it was and say, "Wow, ?that?was actually pretty scary".
Mueller, who has previously painted a giant waterfall in Canada, said?he was inspired by the British 'pavement?Picasso' Julian Beever, whose dramatic but more gentle 3D street images?have featured in the Daily Mail.
This guy is amazing no matter how you look at ?it!
