Julian Beever
Julian Beever is an English chalk artist who creates tromp l'oeil sidewalk art that takes on a 3-Dimensional nature. He uses anamorphosis, a projection technique to create this effect. Each artwork must be viewed from a designated point to get the full effect, but it is possible for people to interact with the work. In 2000, his work became well-known and has been referred to occasionally as the "Pavement Picasso." Besides his pavement art, he paints murals with acrylic paints, re-works of the art masters' paintings in oil paint, as well as music-related drawings. He released his book Pavement Chalk Artist in 2010. The book documents his sidewalk art from around the world through photographs. He is currently in high demand from corporate businesses and he credits the internet to his international success. Below are some of his sidewalk masterpieces.
