Siete Punto Uno (7.1) 16' x 24' in Los Gatos, California, undated. Artist John Pugh is used to people's amazed reactions when they pass his epic architectural murals. John is a trompe l'oeil artist (trick of the eye) meaning he paints incredibly realistic scenes that delude the viewer into a seeing a 3D scene painted on a flat surface. “They say 'wow did you see that. I thought that was real”, said John, from California who works on a large scale on public and residential areas. “These life-size illusions allow me to communicate with a very large audience. It seems almost universal that people take delight in being visually tricked”. John's works can be seen all over the world from New Zealand to Hawaii and each piece tells a story of the area they are positioned. (Photo by John Pugh/Barcroft Media/Getty Images)

A model of the Herald Square work commissioned for Buick in 2009 in Herald Square, New York City. The pavement art was combined with a vertical panel for extra height, to take advantage of the limited space. Master street artist Kurt Wenner's amazing creations on cobbles and pavements across the world may look like they have been dug into the ground - but it's all an amazing trick of the eye. These incredible 3D pictures show in stunning details how former NASA employee Kurt – armed with just pastels and paint – can transform the ground into living art of mesmerising beauty. Using an style known as anamorphic street painting, the artist is able to create illusions so convincing that children sitting on top of them, seen here, look like they are floating in mid air. Creating a jaw-dropping collection spanning pavements in an incredible over 30 countries, in two weeks Kurt will arrive in London where he will display his talents.

This stereoscopic image of the famous Marvel comic character saves the guests from falling into the imaginary depth of a 3D pavement composition using Colorcode 3D glasses.
