Art Illusions & Paintings on City Streets

Street art can take many forms from sculptures and art installations to graffiti and 3D chalk drawings. This page focusses on spray paint graffiti and amazing sidewalk optical illusions.

I've compiled links to online photo galleries of the best painted street art around, plus a display of the best examples I've found.

I hope you enjoy browsing through the fantastic building murals, realistic trompe l'oeil paintings, graffiti artwork and mind-boggling 3D pavement art shown below, and perhaps it will inspire you :-)

Graffiti stencils consist of different layers for each of the different colours. These particular stencils are cut by hand from 250gms paper (50x70cm). Very intricate work.

Trompe-L'Oeil

Trompe-l'oeil is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery which creates the optical illusion that the depicted objects really exist.
This particularly amazing example is 100 square metres and is located at 102 rue du Petit-Champlain, Quebec, Canada.
