The Best 3D Street Artists Around the World



3D street art is entirely done in 2D, but when viewed from certain angles, it gives the viewer a 3D optical illusion – a process known as anamorphosis. One of the first instances of modern 3D street art can be traced back to the 15th century to an Italian artist Paolo Uccello. He was fascinated with his 3D drawings, staying up all night to draw his ideas, much to the chagrin of his wife who practically begged him to come to bed. Paolo would often retort with, “This perspective is such a sweet thing.” His drawings were just too important.

Today street art is as legitimate as other forms of art, and bringing more wonderment to the murals is the 3D component meticulously drawn by skilled street artists.

The team at OtherLinks has put together the following great 3D street artists who are redefining the genre. These artists have turned a simple stretch of road into powerful 3D works of art.

Kurt Wenner

Kurt Wenner worked for NASA as a space illustrator, but left his job to pursue his love of art. Of particular interest to Kurt is Renaissance classicism, which he uses as a foundation for his unique pieces, adding a lot of detail and popping colors. The combination of street art with Renaissance classicism has turned him into an authority on all things related to 3D murals.

Julian Beever

Beever’s renowned use of chalk murals have become a viral sensation on the internet. One only needs to cast a cursory glance at his drawings to realize that the artist has perfected the anamorphic technique, to be fair; he did have several decades of training behind him. Julian’s paintings take a full day to complete, but because they are drawn in chalk, it’s as long lasting as a sand castle. One wave and it all comes tumbling down, but leaves a lasting memory.

Tracy Lee Stum

Tracy is hailed as among the best street artists of modern times. She frequently travels around the world as a featured artist in many seminars and events. What’s more impressive is her record of the largest street painting by one individual in the Guinness World Record. Tracy began drawing at 2 years old and began using chalk pastels at 12. It wasn’t long before she would become one of the most impressive contemporary street artists.

Eduardo Relero

Eduardo is an Argentinean street artist operating primarily out of Spain. He makes some of the best optical illusions on pavements. Eduardo’s murals require a specific viewing point to capture the full breadth of what his paintings are trying to convey. He frequently travels around the world to astound passersby with his thrilling work.
