Illusion Sculptures Only Appear If You Stand In The Right Spot | Master Craft | Insider Art

Michael Murphy is the artist behind Perceptual Art. He creates illusionary sculptures that form portraits of people, words, or objects, but that you can see only if you’re standing in the right place — otherwise, it just looks like a bunch of tangled wires or globs of plastic pieces.

Imagine the amount of artists who don't get recognition for their work

[thebigsad]

The sheer amount of work behind these is incredible. Huge respect

[zendetta-meditation]

Michael was one of my art professors in college, he really is an artistic visionary and a super nice guy too!

[panditm]

The dislikers couldn't find the right angle.

[virtue]

I'm impressed with all the hard work he puts in, respect, respect.

[kyrupipi]

It’s like those mobile game ads you get.

The “3d program” is Sketchup if you were wondering

[tatiannazutania]

I love how some people's mind works. This is what is so wonderful about art. You get to witness someone's brilliance. Great work!!!

[rosewood-cmqz]

His voice cracks XD "in the *voice crack* -right- spot"

[urmomma]

He took “perspective is everything” to a whole new level

[DavidMcCoul]

My favorite ones have two vantage points. I see how he does it: He divides the first image into parts, then in the 3D software he individually moves each part back, staying perpendicular to the first image plane, at distances that draw a second image when viewed from a side plane. He can also get creative with the shapes of each part. Very clever!

[ceerstar]

I feel like some people are definitely not from this planet lol

[Waterbug]

This is more engineering than actually art.

[laurenandlady]

WHY ARE THERE 3 COMMENTS THIS LITERALLY HAS LIKE A MILLION VIEWS?!?!?

[MoorishBrooklyn]

Every great artist have a signature, something that's memorable and a niche; this is all of the above.

[VOLAIRE]

Takes a lot of talent, patience and skill to create this
I can’t imagine trying, Very cool

[heathermac]

This is mind-blowing art at its finest the level of artistry and time and dedication that goes into these art pieces is phenomenal and no easy feit it's people like this that keep art edgy and interesting and it makes people actually get up look and think about what they are visually seeing everyone sees art in there own light and in different ways this art is challenging it's amazing ❤️

[prima]

That is CRAZY. As someone with ocd, I think my brain would explode trying to figure out & construct something like this. I mean, having it make sense visually from one angle is already a feat in itself. This guy has TWO vantage points. WOW

*Absolutely Amazing.*

I wish I had this kind of talent....



*I am bad ass at coloring inside the lines though.*
