About Reverse Perspective
Reverse Perspective Art was popularized by British artist Patrick Hughes; it is also referred to as Reverspective Art. I adapted Mr Hughes techniques to create additional dynamic transforming images with optical illusions. Three dimensional art pieces are constructed with wooden boards which extend outward from the frame. The wood is cut into pyramidal or triangular shapes on the upper and lower surfaces of the artwork. The superficial surfaces of the art are composed of trapezoidal or triangular shaped pieces of wood. The pieces are assembled to create geometrically shaped “boxes”.
The surfaces of the wooden box are primed and are painted using a “reverse perspective” technique in which objects that appear to be farthest away from the viewer are positioned on wooden surfaces that are closest to the viewer. Similarly, objects that appear to be closest to the viewer are actually recessed into the artwork, furthest away from the viewer. This “reverse perspective” provides dynamic optical illusions which appear to move as the viewers perspective changes in relationship to the artwork. These dynamic optical illusions are best viewed in person or on video.
