Trompe l’oeil means ‘trick of the eye’ in French. Julian Beever is an English artist who specializes in creating trompe-l’œil chalk drawings. He uses a projection technique called anamorphosis to create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle. It’s often possible to position a person within the image as if they were interacting with the scene. The effect is so convincing, people will swerve to avoid potholes he’s drawn in the pavement!
