    Artist Katy Ann Gilmore Creates 3D Optical Illusions That Look Like You Walk Into Them

    Imagine seeing a wall that looks like an entrance into another universe. Well, now you can because this visual artist creates immersive 3D optical illusions using only line drawings which bring an illusion of depth and space. So, Los Angeles-based muralist and visual artist Katy Ann Gilmore finds inspiration from architectural constructs. However, unlike most muralists who use colorful spray paints to create stunning three-dimensional murals, Gilmore uses pens and markers to draw simple lines that can construct perspectives.

    Gilmore can add new dimensions and perspectives by creating meticulously hand-drawn vanishing points and skewed shapes on walls and corners. The talented artist builds up the images to encourage the viewers to move around in physical space. This movement gives the viewers the experience of constructing their own interpretation of the image through visual phenomena.

     

    3D Optical Illusions Seem To Transform Walls Into Dimensional Portals

    So, Gilmore received her BA in Art and Mathematics from Greenville College, Illinois in 2011 and her MFA in Visual Art from Azusa Pacific University, California in 2014. By combining art and mathematics she has developed a unique and methodological approach in creating 3D illusions. Inspired by equations, graphs and more she is able to shift the scale by skewing the lines and distorting perpendicular planes.

    It seems like many of her pieces use contrasting colors and very detailed patterns.

    “I really love taking on a unique space with corners and interesting architectural elements to add new dimensions and perspectives. I also try to accomplish the same thing in my studio work for gallery shows.” the artist said.

     

    Here you can see how awesome her work looks in buildings as well as in galleries.

    Sometimes her work doesn’t involve pens as sometimes she uses 3D materials such as rubber cord.
