Largest Anamorphic Mural
The largest 3-D street mural was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records this past November. It’s by artists 3D Joe & Max. It measures 9,106 square feet. Evidently over 300,000 others have tried to break this record, according to the Huffington Post. This mural below uses anamorphic perspective — painted in a purposeful distorted, “slanted” way that offers a 3D optical illusion when viewed from a certain vantage point.
Watching the video gives you some indication of the “epic” effort it took to achieve the record for the largest and the longest mural in the world — and Reebok / CrossFit exercise area too boot. Kudos!
Here’s an interior mural from 3D Joe & Max’s website:

There are many artists that create their artwork in an anamorphic way. Julian Beever is one who I’ve written about here before. Kurt Werner is another talented artist and architect, who really appreciates the classical form in his work.
Take a look at his website.
It’s nice to see some modern day Michelangelos.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
