Impressive Painting Illusions Transform Everyday Objects

Chinese artist Li Jiayue transforms and camouflages concrete columns, tree trunks, and other architectural objects with impressive skill.

By expertly mimicking the background of a scene, Jiayue gives the illusion that giant concrete columns are floating in midair, or have been transformed into something else.

The illusion only works when the viewer looks at something head-on, but even still, it’s a neat visual trick, and shows that painting can extend our reality, or in this case, suspend it.
