I'm totally fascinated by street art. I find it interesting and so artsy. It's also usually meant to beautify the neighborhood. While some artists end up creating their art on the streets as a surprise, other creative minds like to involve the actual residents of the area they choose to makeover.
That's exactly what two Dutch artists ended up collaborating on. And the results are stunning, to say the least.
I would say they definitely accomplished that here.
They gave the building an incredible 3D art makeover.
They gave him free rein of coming up with the actual concept.
The first idea of a smiley face seemed just too simple.
The concept was to create a "l’oeil mural" which is basically a visual illusion in art.
And I think it definitely did that here very well.
Can you spot the artist's name here?
So they asked them to name their favorite books to be included in the final design.
Everybody, every age, every culture, every language was welcome.
Wow, that's truly amazing.
Of course, represent many incredible literary artists as well with their selection of books.
Ha, ha, nice picks!
Lots of book-lovers have flocked to have their photo taken.
I wish there were places like this in my neighborhood to enjoy.
