From Piccadilly Circus to an
incident at Waterloo this eye-opening 3D street art is probably the
best on the planet.
Not only do these incredible
pastel drawings on pavements across the world look realistic by
themselves - but when passers-by jump into the scene they take on a
life of their own.
As well as his London
creations, U.S. street artist Kurt Wenner, 53, created a playboy's
bachelor pad in a Singapore Airport, a magic carpet for children to
ride over an Arabian fantasy city and a grand prix car for local
female drivers to try out during the Bahrain Grand Prix.

London

Mr Wenner
invented a new geometry that creates compositions that appear to
rise from or fall into the ground.
Using his
homemade pastels, he can take up to seven days to complete his
intricately detailed large-scale drawings, sometimes longer
depending on the weather.
Mr Wenner's
innovative style draws on religion and classical mythology.
Mr Wenner
began his career in Rome, inspired by the city's centuries-old
tradition of street art.
Mr Wenner
explains: 'The pieces look real because they are calculated to be
perfectly and mathematically accurate.'
