George Washingstone Stone & Pebble Portrait by Justin Bateman (+8 more artworks)

“George Washingstone” – “I did have to wash the stones – as I collected them from a railway” – In Bangkok, Thailand

Land Artist Justin Piers Bateman

Stone & Pebble Portraits by Justin Bateman: Webpage // Instagram // Facebook

How do you see your role as an artist today?

Justin Bateman: To encourage everyone and anyone to enjoy creativity. It’s not about being good at drawing, it’s about cultivating imagination. Skills can be acquired, but imagination is the birth of all endeavour.

How would you describe your working method?

Justin Bateman: Intervention art, I guess. Small/ micro adjustments can lead to big shifts over long periods of time.

How can artists be paid for their work and at the same time
maintain a critical attitude towards the commercial art market and public funding partners?

Justin Bateman: That’s a tricky one! I find it hard to monetise my work. To date I have kept my creativity and capitalist tendencies quite seperate. I enjoy working beyond the confines of institutional powers.

George Washingstone

Justin Bateman: I did have to wash the stones – as I collected from a railway.

‘Paper money has had the effect that it will ever have, to ruin commerce, oppress the honest, and open the door to every species of fraud and injustice.’ – George Washington

‘Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.’ –Henry David Thoreau

‘Grace’ Thailand

‘Grace’ (Lady from Myanmar)

‘Peace isn’t an experience free of challenges, free of rough and smooth, it’s an experience that’s expansive enough to include all that arises without feeling threatened.’ – Pema Chödrö

Justin Bateman: My work is not political, but the context is inherent in every portraits physiognomy. ‘Grace’ is based on a photograph by Oleg Doroshenko, ‘Myanmar old lady’.

18 Pics Of Land Art Sculptures by Jon Foreman

Jon Foreman Sculpt The World

By Jon Foreman, land/sculpture artist based in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK.

Lux Tenebris

Jon Foreman: Created at Pensarn, Abergele. This was the last piece I made in 2021! I was glad to have gotten the chance to work on a large scale again, it had been a while! As ever I had an idea that changed as I progressed but I love that this one has curves going horizontally and vertically with a kind of half pipe effect (a curved ramp of stones either side). Also very lucky to have had the chance to capture the sea engulfing it. Although it was coming in very fast it was coming very calmly which allowed me to get plenty of photos, got my feet wet for this shot!

Crescent

Jon Foreman: Created at Lindsway Bay, Pembrokeshire. I’m so used to following the circle round further that its hard to break the habit. Glad to have managed it with this one though! It really feels like it merges into the sand, which is something that I’m not sure I’ve succeeded in doing in the past. At least not as well as this one.

Dissicio Quadratum

Created at Freshwater West.

Circumflexus

Jon Foreman: Created for Llano Earth Art Fest Texas. This is the most intensive work I’ve created and took four days to complete! I initially started with the largest stones making the back of the circle, as the stones got smaller I began to realise the time that would be involved. I’d love to know how many there actually are! Photo by Laurence Winram Photography.

Fluidus

Jon Foreman: Yes it looks like a jellyfish, no its not meant to be one. I’m not trying to suppress any imagination but for me I’m essentially trying to create something that doesn’t yet exist so that attachment to something that does exist gets on my nerves haha also feels like its oversimplifying the work a bit… But call it what you want haha!

This one was actually created before “Peruersum” (The 4 day piece created at LEAF) and is what Peruersum was based on. The difference being that I didn’t have the time fill a full circle for this one so I got the opportunity at LEAF. I love creating the familiarity between pieces of work without directly repeating something. Having said that, i don’t know that I could directly repeat a piece of work without it becoming a tiny bit different!

Also the sand was really annoying that day and every time I put a stone into the sand it created the cracks you can see between the stones, interesting effect i suppose

Acervus Circlus

Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. I love working like this, finding colours that contrast well and placing on top of one another. Very satisfying work to do, showing freshwater Wests colours in a different way, although I usually add white too I thought amongst these white may stand out too much.

Expletio Duo

Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. This piece is 1 in a 3 part set that I’m trying to get made. Many of you will have seen “Expletio” which is a single spiral using these same colours and this fractal style of working. I shall at some stage be creating the third in the set which will be a triple spiral in the same style! Anyway this one proved more fiddly than the previous version, I think I must have downscaled it a bit and that coupled with cold/windy weather made for difficult work. Got there in the end though!

Druid Spiral

Jon Foreman: Created at Druidston I love working with the slate at this beach, definitely has a different vibe and colour, I’ll have to get back there again soon!

Sinking Circle

Jon Foreman: Although I don’t consider myself an especially good photographer I’m very happy with how this one turned out, aside from the work itself looking good (and with this angle showing the incline more clearly) aside from the work I think I caught the atmosphere of the day which isn’t often very obvious in my work! Also love the water making the edge of the stones glow and they disappear into the distance, I’m all about depth within the sculpture why not outside the sculpture too.

Lumen

Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. A couple of years back I created a very similar piece to this, the only difference being that the stones were previously placed flat. I feel the sense of movement is enhanced with them placed this way really radiating outward as they disperse.

Nether Flower

Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. Couldn’t resist sharing this angle with the shadows! This one got a little bit messy in the middle because of the nature of the placement in the space available. I have to start in the middle and slot the next layer behind the previous so the more I add the less space there is in the small “hole” I made for this. So yeah they got a little bit squashed but I can live with that!

Above Below

Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. Another mushroom creation, couldn’t resist making use of the massive branch of driftwood. Again these are just stones balanced on sticks accept where they go over the driftwood. A fun one for sure… More mushrooms to come!

Shroom Sheet

Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West I’ve done quite a lot now with shrooms, yes they’re stones balanced on sticks, no – its not as difficult as it seems! .. until you start putting them very close together… But until creating this piece I’ve yet to work with them while incorporating colour (or more precisely colour change) as with this one! I’ll likely do more at some stage!

Obnatus Luna

Jon Foreman: These stones are often buried under the sand when there’s been particularly high tides so I have to hope they’re not buried every time!

1.

“Below” at Lindsway Bay, Wales, UK

Jon Foreman: Wanted to do this one for a while, great to do this drawing style again and get lost in the process. Good weather always helps too. This illusion/composition isn’t nearly as complex as you’d expect, just a bunch of circles really. Then I just add in all the patterns like many of my previous works. There is however a mistake which is very easy to spot, I’ll leave that for you guys to work out.

2.

“Extimus Lux”

3.

“Explosia” at Freshwater West, Wales, UK

Jon Foreman: Often I get to a location not knowing what I’m about to create, this was one of those days. Upon starting all I had in mind was to start with big stones and work my way down to small stones. After a while it became apparent that this was turning into a work very similar to that of Dietmar Voorwold (who btw you should all check out cause his work is awesome!) anyway my point is there are things that I do in land art such as playing with scale/ colour that lead me to places that have already been discovered and it was completely unintentional for it to look like his work, I tried to then add my own style to it by dispersing the stones. Once I got so far I had to finish it having spend a good few hours on it already. Anyway I hope its seen more as a nod to an awesome artist than me copying his work.

4.

“Calefacio Stella” at Freshwater West, Wales, UK

5.

“Exspergo Luna” at Freshwater West, Wales, UK

[strong][strong]Jon Foreman: [/strong][/strong]A very time consuming way of working, the stones being compact and interlocking makes for a more solid piece but I could resist a disperse inwards. For some reason this style reminds me of jelly beans. Probably cause of the randomness of the angles that they’re placed. Also, recalling the light from photographing a previous moon piece. I chose to wait a while seeing a cloud heading my way and went for the capture while the cloud was thin so that there would still be shadow, but not too harsh a shadow.

14 Street Art 3D Masterpieces You Won’t Believe Are Real

Get ready to be mesmerized by the fascinating world of 3D street art!

In today’s blog post, we’ll delve into the mind-bending realm of anamorphic masterpieces, as we explore how these optical illusions are created and what makes them so captivating. So, buckle up and let’s dive into the intriguing world of 3D street art!

It’s all about perspective! The Art of Anamorphosis:

Creating Illusions Anamorphosis, the technique behind 3D street art, involves creating distorted images that only appear in their correct proportions when viewed from a specific angle or through a reflective device. This mind-blowing technique has been around since the Renaissance, but it wasn’t until the late 20th century that artists began applying it to the streets, transforming ordinary pavements into magical wonderlands.

The Pioneers: Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever

We can’t talk about 3D street art without mentioning its pioneers, Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever. Both artists started creating anamorphic illusions on the streets of Europe in the 1980s, revolutionizing the street art scene. Their innovative works have inspired a new generation of artists to experiment with perspective and create their own jaw-dropping 3D masterpieces.

The Process: From Sketch to Lifelike Artwork

Creating 3D street art is a labor-intensive process that begins with a detailed sketch of the desired illusion. Artists then use mathematical calculations and perspective techniques to determine the correct proportions for the final piece. Once the groundwork is done, they meticulously apply chalk or paint to the pavement, using shading and highlights to bring the illusion to life.

Hungry Giraffe in Utrecht: Jan Is De Man’s Mural Feeds on Real Plants

In Utrecht, Netherlands, Jan Is De Man has turned a building into a canvas for a towering giraffe mural that evolves with its environment, making art and nature collide in stunning harmony.

The mural’s integration with the climbing greenery continues to evolve, creating a living artwork that draws visitors year-round. It’s become a hotspot for selfies and social media posts.

Jan Is De Man on the mural: This concept where the giraffe is eating the plants, is going to be better within the years… The wall next to the giraffe becomes a vertical green garden. But I was a bit impatient, so I drew a few of the plants already.

Jan Is De Man: In this interactive project, local residents could send me their most precious object. Besides the size this also was a challenging mural for me cause I painted a lot of things that I usually would never do. As an example: I never thought I would paint a singing frog like this.

Stitching Time: Fabian Bane Florin’s 3D-Anamorphic Mural ‘Cut Through History’ in Frauenfeld, Switzerland

Street Artist Fabian Bane Florin

The city of Frauenfeld, Switzerland got a bit more colorful thanks to a stunning mural by Fabian Bane Florin. Titled “Cut Through History,” this magnificent piece was created for the Street Art Festival Frauenfeld, bringing a rich blend of history and art to life.

The mural features a 3D-anamorphic painting of a seamstress, lost in concentration as she works with a piece of red cloth. This captivating piece pays homage to the building it graces, which once housed a tailoring shop. In this way, Florin’s work threads together past and present, building a bridge between the location’s history and its current existence.

Speaking about his work, Florin said, “With this work, I wanted to express my respect for the place and its past. A special thanks goes to the organizers of the Street Art Festival Frauenfeld for a great week and as always to my friend and assistant Robert Dörre.”

The model for the painting, @jennysoldano, also deserves mention for bringing this extraordinary piece of art to life.

It’s always inspiring to see street artists like Fabian Bane Florin use their talent to honor a place’s history while also adding a touch of beauty and intrigue to our everyday surroundings.

6 Photos Of 3D Mural by Peeta in Mannheim, Germany

Anamorphic muralist Peeta

By Peeta in Mannheim, Germany for Stadt-Wand-Kunst STADT.WAND.KUNST project.

Peeta is a Venice based graffiti artist since ‘93, muralist, oil painter and sculptor.

Peeta: “I loved this building since the beginning and I tried my best to combine multidisciplinary skills to transform it while keeping its original taste. Thanks to the city of Mannheim and the great people that supported and worked on this project.”

More: Anamorphic mural by Peeta in Padova, Italy

Anamorphic art is a technique that creates the illusion of three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface.

By using perspective distortion, artists manipulate how the artwork is viewed from specific angles, making flat images appear as though they are popping out of the surface. This method has been widely used in murals and street art, where artists like Peeta transform buildings, pavements, and walls into stunning optical illusions. The goal of anamorphic art is to challenge the viewer’s perception of reality through clever design and perspective tricks.

Stitching Time: Fabian Bane Florin’s 3D-Anamorphic Mural ‘Cut Through History’ in Frauenfeld, Switzerland

Street Artist Fabian Bane Florin

The city of Frauenfeld, Switzerland got a bit more colorful thanks to a stunning mural by Fabian Bane Florin. Titled “Cut Through History,” this magnificent piece was created for the Street Art Festival Frauenfeld, bringing a rich blend of history and art to life.

The mural features a 3D-anamorphic painting of a seamstress, lost in concentration as she works with a piece of red cloth. This captivating piece pays homage to the building it graces, which once housed a tailoring shop. In this way, Florin’s work threads together past and present, building a bridge between the location’s history and its current existence.

“The Wave Is Coming” by Shozy in Balashikha, Russia

Street Artist Shozy

“The Wave Is Coming” by Shozy for International Mural Festival. You can find the facade at Zheleznodorozhny, Novaya, 7 in Balashikha, Russia.

Shozy (direct translation): This is a 14-story panel house with an illusory end. Distorting and bubbling windows create dissonance with the usual geometry of panels. Some floors glitch apart, adding a digital spice, the seams between the panels bend, creating the base of an illusory form, and the composition is completed by a slit in the sky that devastates the house. Like other works in this series, this façade invites the viewer to look at familiar things from a new point of view, look for aesthetics among painfully familiar elements of the Russian urban landscape and simply be surprised, deceived, but still satisfied.

26 Paintings: 3D Post-Graffiti By SCAF

As street art has evolved from a frowned-upon act of vandalism into a widely-accepted form of creative expression, it has become a powerful medium for artists to voice social and political messages.

It has also turned into a source of joy, inspiration, and delight for residents and visitors alike. One such artist who has mastered the art of transforming mundane urban spaces into captivating visual experiences is the French street artist, Scaf.

Scaf (Pierre Bertolotti), known for his mind-blowing 3D graffiti illusions, has garnered international acclaim for his ability to breathe new life into everyday objects. His vibrant creations, often featuring bold colors and clever optical illusion designs, are guaranteed to catch the attention of even the most hurried passerby.

With his uncanny talent for creating hyper-realistic, intricately detailed artworks, Scaf has become a celebrated figure in the global street art scene. His repertoire includes an impressive array of subjects, from prehistoric dinosaurs and menacing snakes to haunting skulls and futuristic robots.

Scaf: “The main goal is to make people smile. So that the people who discover my paintings will have a moment of lightness in a world where everything goes so fast and crazy. I watch a lot of cartoons. My goal is also to get away from the problems of everyday life and dream.”

Don’t miss out on Scaf’s latest creations! Follow him on Instagram to stay updated and explore more of his awe-inspiring 3D graffiti illusions.

Master of Illusion!: 19 Jaw-Dropping 3D Graffiti Pieces by Odeith

Diving Into the World of Odeith’s Anamorphic Graffiti

Portuguese street artist Odeith, also known as Sérgio Odeith, has gained international recognition for his jaw-dropping 3D graffiti pieces that defy the limits of perception. In this blog post, we’ll explore 19 of his most astonishing works and delve into the world of this master of illusion.

Odeith’s Background and Style

Odeith began his graffiti career in the 1980s, honing his skills on the streets of Lisbon. Over the years, he has refined his technique and developed his signature style, characterized by bold colors, intricate details, and mind-bending optical illusions (read more about him later in this post).

The Art of Creating 3D Graffiti

Odeith’s 3D graffiti art is a perfect blend of skill, perspective, and creativity. By employing anamorphic techniques and masterful shading, he transforms ordinary walls and objects into realistic three-dimensional scenes that appear to leap off the surface.

Odeith’s Signature Subject Matter

Odeith is known for tackling a wide range of subject matter in his work, from animals and insects to urban landscapes and fantastical creatures. His pieces often feature a sense of movement and depth, drawing viewers into his vivid, illusionary world.

Exploring Odeith’s Most Astonishing Works

Among Odeith’s most remarkable pieces are his larger-than-life murals of animals, including a majestic lion, a menacing crocodile, and an otherworldly praying mantis. These works not only showcase his technical prowess but also highlight his ability to breathe life into his subjects.

Odeith’s Impact on the Street Art Scene

Odeith’s innovative 3D graffiti art has earned him a reputation as one of the most talented and influential artists in the street art world. His work has inspired countless other artists and raised the bar for what is possible with spray paint and a blank canvas.

Odeith’s Background and Style: A Deeper Dive

Born in Damaia, Portugal, in 1976, Sérgio ‘Odeith’ first picked up a spray can in the mid-1980s, painting signatures and doodles on his neighborhood walls. It wasn’t until the mid-1990s that he encountered graffiti artists in Carcavelos, where the movement was gaining momentum. This sparked a passion for graffiti that led him to paint illegally on street walls and railway lines in and around Lisbon.

Odeith’s impressive evolution as an artist is due in part to his dedication to painting large-scale murals in various neighborhoods throughout Damaia, Carcavelos, and Amadora. Although he dropped out of school at the age of 15 and never received any formal art training, Odeith’s talent for drawing and his relentless self-taught approach to his craft led him to become the renowned artist he is today.

In 2003, Odeith adopted his current moniker, and by 2005, his innovative use of the anamorphosis technique began garnering international recognition. This “Somber 3D” style, as he later called it, involves painting on 90-degree corners or flat walls to create authentic, large-scale compositions of insects or objects that give a striking 3D optical illusion effect. Many of these works, painted in abandoned spaces, quickly went viral due to their realism and technique.

Odeith briefly lived in London after closing his tattoo shop in 2008, but he has since returned to Lisbon, where he now focuses exclusively on studio work and walls. Despite his lack of formal training, Odeith has become a pioneering force in the world of street art, with his dark anamorphic style and passion for the craft setting him apart from other artists.

Discovering More of Odeith’s Work

To explore more of Odeith’s incredible 3D graffiti pieces, check out his website and follow him on Instagram. Keep an eye out for his work in your city or during your travels, as you never know where his next masterpiece might appear.

The Lasting Impact of Odeith’s Innovative Street Art

Odeith’s jaw-dropping 3D graffiti art is a testament to the power of creativity, skill, and imagination. These 18 captivating pieces offer just a glimpse into the mind of this master of illusion, whose work continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of street art.

The Process: From Sketch to Lifelike Artwork

Creating 3D street art is a labor-intensive process that begins with a detailed sketch of the desired illusion. Artists then use mathematical calculations and perspective techniques to determine the correct proportions for the final piece. Once the groundwork is done, they meticulously apply chalk or paint to the pavement, using shading and highlights to bring the illusion to life.
