Illusion Art, also known as trompe l’oeil (French for “deceive the eye”), refers to artworks that create an optical illusion that tricks the viewer into believing that the depicted image is real or three-dimensional.
This genre of art has captured the imagination of artists and viewers alike, challenging our perceptions of reality and inviting us to see the world in new and unexpected ways.
It is a style of art that creates an illusion of three-dimensional objects or scenes that appear to be tangible, often to the point where the viewer is uncertain whether they are looking at a painting or an object.
Anamorphic Art is a technique used in visual art to create distorted images that appear normal when viewed from a specific angle or with a certain device.
In Illusion Art, perspective is used in a more exaggerated and often surreal way to create optical illusions that challenge the viewer’s perception of reality.
In Illusion Art, color can be used to create the illusion of depth and form. For instance, artists may use warm colors such as red and orange to make objects appear closer, while cool colors can create a sense of distance.
Materials can vary extensively from painting, photography, mirrors, digital media, and sculpture depending on the effects the artists want to create and their chosen area of work.
