Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has redefined anamorphic art with his 3D pavement art, grand illusion drawings and chalk murals.
|
Wenner, who is well known for his life-like anamorphic street art, previously worked for NASA as a conceptual artist before relocating to Italy where he spent the next few years studying art and focusing on masterpieces and sculptures in Italian museums. |
When Pope John Paul II paid a visit to Mantua in 1991, Wenner was commissioned to create a piece of art to honour the Pope's visit. In addition to his art, Wenner is also a renowned Architect and painter, making a name for himself within the art world for his oil paintings.
Until now, one of Wenner's largest pieces of work has been a 18 meter square mural which hangs on Wilshire Boulevard in California, with other pieces being displayed in city halls and museums around the world.
In October 2010, Wenner was commissioned by Greenpeace to help achieve a world record by drawing a large scale piece of anamorphic street art with an overall dimension of 22 metres by 22 meters containing a million signatures as part of a Greenpeace initiative promoting an EU citizens charter.
The large piece of artwork was drawn by Wenner and subsequently printed onto a specially sourced eco-friendly substrate by UK based digital print specialists, Pyramid Visuals.
The printed banner was then to be presented and unravelled on the streets of Brussels in front of the European Commission.
Given the size and scale of the finished article, Wenner's artwork could not be printed as a whole but instead had to be printed in various sections and subsequently bonded together to create the world's largest piece of anamorphic art.
This is not the first time that Pyramid Visuals have been involved in such large scale printed works. Previously, they have produced a printed building wrap that totally encapsulated the Monument in the heart of London whilst it was being cleaned and restored and also assisted Channel 5's, The Gadget Show demonstrate the differences between digital and transparency photography by printing identical images of the hosts taken in both formats and hanging them off the side of the Millenium Building for the show.
