I’m sure you’ve seen at least some of his art in your life but Julian Beever is worth another look. Using just chalk and the pavement beneath his feet, this artist makes things come to life in three dimensions by manipulating our perspective. The French have long had a term for it, ‘trompe l’oeil’ but it seems the current master of the technique is an Englishman named Julian.
This picture of Julian jumping off a wooden diving board into a pool at the base of a staircase-waterfall is my favorite.
