At the Station

Where reality and make-belief meet ...

Mural Art in Vancouver - here a real trompe l'oeil that fools the eye into believing the scene is real .... the backs of a row of low shops on Grandview Highway - incorporating an old railline.

I want to thank you all for showing so much interest in Vancouvers wall art - I really appreciate all your great comments !!!!

That's incredible, the artist really knows what they are doing and I suspect they spent a lot of time looking at the site from different angles to get the perspective right and when that is spot on as it is here, the picture works like an optical illusion and draws alot of interest. Keep them coming Adele!
Hugs

A very clever piece of artwork, with the bike being a real bonus.
best wishes from Lawson.

Sehr interessant, da kann man sich lange damit beschäftigen. Ich finde auch den englischen Ausdruck "to fool the eye" bezeichnender als jeden deutschen.
Tolle Arbeit!

Un'idea geniale!
Sembra di stare realmente alla stazione.
Ottimo lavoro, sia il tuo che quello eseguito dagli artisti che hanno disegnato questo magnifico murales.
Ciao Iole

Hier ist die Eisenbahnromantik grau und die Realität ist farbig, das passt gut zu diesem Bild bei dem vertraute Sehgewohnheiten schon ziemlich auf die Probe gestellt werden!
Liebe Grüße, Ernst

Superposición de líneas, geometrías y tramas bien definidas, una imagen que muestra el arte del mural.
Un abrazo. Ramón
