These could be great permanent installations too, this art is accessible that almost anyone can appreciate and enjoy. Usually I have no idea what people on about with most art but I can get how beautiful and interactive this is.
Amazing. I remember the LA Times had a cover story on him in their magazine, I'm guessing, around 30 years ago. Didn't realize it was him until they showed those old photographs and that Dies Irae piece.
@@pippa3150 Just your question here is unfortunately a lost art of sorts (on me) as I've never heard of "what you said."😉 But, thank you! Off now to Google "what the art form is that I questioned over on WIRED's YT channel. . . ."
"What illusion does fundamentally it tells us or reminds us that everything we think is real is, is in some way an illusion" the 60s was a helluva drug.
Those kind of perspectives are called anamorphosis. Since they were a thing in the baroque era in Italy, I'm surprise the artist didn't mention that. But it don't take nothing form him. What an artist! He's amazing!
7:50 Bro used Maho-NASA for the bluebrint for his Geometrical Bending Lines. They asked "would you see the picture as it is?" and he said "Nah, I'd distort"
Hated focal point physics practicals in high school. First time I have found it interesting. Wish I had a physics teacher who was more profound in explaining things
3D street art is so fascinating and beautiful to look at like imagine being a rich youtuber and comissioning one of these to be painted in your garden, and then filming a video with you in your garden with your camera at the perfect perspective whilst you you talk to the audience
Had Kurt Wenner’s life taken a slightly different turn (or, perhaps, had he been born a few decades earlier), he might be renowned for making matte paintings for the movies.
Perspective and Technic 💜🎊👏 it’s fantastic! . Thank you so much for showing this older way of practicing and learning how to present, it’s art in its own right the tracing paper, paste board and diagrams to get the view points right, using the phone view, it all was excellent.
Well this style of artwork is not new it is usually done with geometric shapes and sometimes artwork as this guy has done however this dude's talent is almost unbelievable! The idea is not what impresses me the most it's his actual ability to make things so realistic looking! And be interesting to see what else he has created with different mediums
Man, one must have the patience of a Gaboon Viper to produce these works of magnificent beauty! The Gaboon viper can stay motionless in one position for a week, waiting patiently for its prey. I wouldn’t have 5 minutes of patience trying to come up with an image in my mind.
Surely something like this existed back in the renaissance? The method is actually the reverse of how you create the illusion of a flat painting within a painting (you design the painting normally, overlay a rectangular grid, and then match the squares of that grid to a grid in perspective.) Wenner starts with the grid in perspective, draws normally, and then matches the distorted perspective squares to simple geometric squares. It’s simpler than this video makes it out to be.
Nowadays he could probably draw his artworks, then distort them on a plane in a 3D program and copy the distorted artwork one by one to get the same results but doing all of that math in your head is just mindboggling to me.
Unbelievable! And unbelievably beautiful. It blows my mind how talented some people are. If things were left up to me, we would still be living in a cave and have square wheels. 😂. How truly amazing!
i once did a cube in this crazy perspective in the park when I was 13 didn't look like a perfect cube and the perspective was wonky at best, but I somehow nailed the illusion
People who can... MENTALLY figure this stuff out, let alone actually do it, boggle my mind to unfounded degrees 🤯
This is what happens when you grow up in good company.
He had a good father
Completely amazing, I saw one that was so real it had people nearly tripping over the illusion

This is without doubt one of the best channels on youtube, and this video adds to the collection quite well. Thank you Wired!!
Wondering if you all would ever cover cylindrical mirror art? Such a lost art and so amazing.

I don't know how he does this, but I guess you could chalk it up to his perspective of things.
Hehehe nice
Hehehe nice
Hehehe nice
Yes
Hehehe nice

😂 He worked for NASA, *buhdomtsss!!!*
Out of this world - so amazing - incredible.
That looks immensely impressive. Thank you for your consistency. Happy Holidays.
I've always been so captivated by this type of art
He’s absolutely amazing!
This man is a legend!
The amount of chalk this guy has rivals my maths teacher
He’s giving the public such a wonderful experience and gift. Bonding, communication and appreciation all rolled into one! Bravo!!!
This is mind boggling!
😍 Wow! Just amazing how he uses geometry with art! Beautiful! 👍🏼💪🏼🤎
The photography to capture this for generations to come is pretty amazing too.

I LOVE Baroque music.
Student: I don't wanna learn math. I'll never use it in real life.
Teacher: Oh really?
Awesome artist, doing the best amazing 3D illusions.
Ephemeral yet endlessly fascinating!👏
Julian Beever comes to mind with these. Mindblowing.
This guy's art, as with all art, is often a matter of perspective.
A master, and it is a pleasure to have worked with him.

Anyone this talented should be making millions.........

Perspective is more important than it gets credit for.🤯🤘🙏
And it's a pain to learn.
Wonderful to see something like this
I’d love to see the history or development of this genre of art! Great video though

I love his art works.
Rain must be this guys nemesis
At 0:05 so the artist introduction is him showing the pyramid with the all-seing-eye? Guess he was just revealing he is a freemason.
All for the craft. Otherwise how do you make a living with art that fades away as you working on it.
Incredible.
By photographing it.
What the human brain is capable of achieving is utterly incredible.
Wow! these paintings are absolutely, incredibly, utterly fantastic! he is an Artist. 🌹🌱
A true genius
absolutely incredible

This is so fkn dope
So interesting. When I took art class I didn't invasion mixing squaring off with foreshorting. With 2 point perspective. What an epiphany
Now I see why the moon landings looked so realistic. 🤣
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
So creative so cool,your passion and focus is inspiring

Can't imagine making a temporary masterpiece
Imagine him drawing the whole village of Chillingbourne in 3D chalk.
Totally way cool.👏👏👏👏
Bravo! A wonderful talent.
Cool beans. Unbelievable!
me watching this, barely able to draw a stick figure 😳

Incredible artistic talent with an amazing surreal illusion painting and I can not event draw a beautiful flower.
What?!?! Former NASA illustrator. What did he illustrate for NASA? Doubt it was the logo.
Amazing skill, thanks for teaching us.
I wish it was permanent, maybe cover with thick gloss, many layers.
God bless.
The rendering is so gorgeous and they're so huge 🤯🤯
Brilliant. Fantastic.

My God, if I could have 1/1000th of the talent has, I’d be thrilled. Mind-blowing artist.

How truly amazing!
Fractals is fascinating
Hey A.I. Make me a super 3D sketch same like Kurt Wenner.
AI: Ok. Done.
Like it or not, it's already HERE.
Amazing 👏
..PHENOMENAL ARTIST..A TRUE MASTER CLASS OF ARTISTRY BY THIS MAN...ABSOLUTELY BREATH TAKING...WOW..🙏❤🙏
Beautiful
Legendary artist
Amazing content and story!
Man this guy is chalk full of ideas
Amazing!
Incredible. Too bad it isn't permanent. Thanks for sharing.
So talented.
How is this possible. Wow 👌
He is a genius.
Awesome!!
imagine it rains as hes almost finished but no one saw it yet :0
Genius!
Brilliant
Incredible artist.

Hop scotch got quite a few upgrades since the 80s 🤯
Have him collab with Pascal Wallisch!
So good
Magical !
he worked for Nasa and now is expert at creating image illusions ..... Intresting
Genius.
es magico vato
Oh yeah I just take the square and square the square to make a smaller square then detail that square to make a BIGGER square 🤔, that's all 😀
That sounds like Kamala Harris
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!
When mathematics and art come together!
Wow that's amazing this video I like that's
Amazing
Could more permanent exhibits be made using tiles?
Guys a genius
What was the monster in the thumbnail
I was wondering if this dude was using different type of chalk amazing he makes it himself
