The most frequently asked questions about (3D) street painting - answered by Edgar Mueller
Can you briefly introduce yourself and your work of 3-D street painting?
Could you tell us when and why you start the work of 3-D street painting?
Can you briefly talk about the process of your work? What is the most difficult part in your work?
To describe the process briefly is kind of impossible. However, there is one main perspective law which is an important base to construct a 3D street painting.
If you have a look around and keep an eye on all verticals you see (for instance trees or streetlights) you may recognize that their extensions all meet at your feet or - if you are sitting - under your but. So if you choose a spot and fix a cord on it you can use it as a ruler for all the verticals in the painting. That's the reason why every anamorphic street
painting only makes sense from one specific spot - where all verticals meet. The difficult part is to find out the right distortion in length. The more you go up the painting the longer the distortion should be. It is not a linear stretching. I always go to the right spot and check what I'm doing there.
"Street Painting" or "Pavement Art"? What is the right designation for this art?
Street painting has a long history? How has it begun?
Today the genre is not only religious anymore. When was the change and how did it come to this?
What happens if it's raining?
Do you regard your work as the product of graffiti art? Both of them are created in the street in the way of painting.
What is the relationship and differences between them?
We are shocked by your productions because though we know they are not real we still feel scared to pass on them. And you at that moment are like a psychologist who uncover our deepest fear, our weaknesses. Is that your painting purpose?
