Another street artist even more sophisticated than the previous one

Edgar Mueller Super artist

Great  Crevase Edgar Mueller.  Hard work: Together  with up to five assistants, Mueller painted  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,  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 thnk 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.”
