Have a look at this piece of impossible architecture drawn by István Orosz and try to figure out how it was built. Obviously it could not be constructed in the real world, but fortunately on paper (or on your screen) this type of design can absolutely exist. Notice how each of the three doorways are […]
The title pretty much explains today’s optical illusion, which is courtesy of Swiss artist Sandro Del-Prete. Del-Prete is a master at drawing impossible scenes and this example is certainly no exception. Shown below is a twisted sheet of paper with a cleverly-designed drawing of a bottle pouring its own glass of wine by itself. The […]
Thomas has once again used his photography skills and imagination to come up with this very unusual balancing act. Merging a photograph of a tightrope walker headed toward the viewer with a photograph looking up at a chandelier and ceiling, a confusing and unsettling image is born. Regarding the process that Thomas uses to create […]
Take a look at this twisted figure that its creator Andreas Aronsson calls an impossible worm. If you study the multi-colored shape in detail, you will notice that it is really just five interconnected impossible triangles (also known as a Penrose triangle). On his blog, Andreas notes: I’m not sure why I like this one […]
The works of Tamás Farkas have been presented in exhibitions around the globe. His art has appeared in his native country Hungary, as well as other places like Washington, D.C., Israel, Japan, and Italy (to name a few). Take a look at the tangled gray and gold figures below. They appear to be wrapped around […]
The impossible triangle (also known as the Penrose triangle) has intrigued viewers (and artists) since it was first introduced by Oscar Reutersvärd in the 1930s. In the photograph below, street artist Femoesa designed this version of the impossible triangle using a chain link fence. This particular impossible work of art was created in 2013 in […]
Karlos Calonge Domenech sent me this impossible construction he created a few weeks ago. The way that many of the angles line up on this odd structure could simply not exist. I count a total of three impossible rectangles incorporated into the design. Do you see them all? If you’ve got any optical illusions that […]
