Kurt Wenner



Kurt Wenner is a three dimensional street painter. Inspired by anamorphism, Wenner has been able to develop a new artistic approach by creating a new way of painting to give depth to the horizontal surface of the street. 

The image shown above is Kurt Wenners latest three dimensional piece which took him four days to create using chalk and pastels. The millions of pounds spilling out of the vault on the wall of the open space at London Waterloo station stopped many commuters, who were convinced and intrigued by the three dimensional illusion.  

I think Kurt Wenners approach to street painting is fascinating. His work really does create the illusion of three dimensional depth along the open space he works on. His work is extremely realistic and eye-catching and works well in the situation where he performs his art on. His work looks even more impressive when viewed through 3D glasses.
