Artist #3: Julian Beever

Julian Beever is a man who focuses on the medium of chalk. What is unusual about this is the surface which he uses for application. The sidewalk. With his knowledge of how the eye works, he produces images in tromp l'oeil style. To do this, he stretches the image out to gigantic
proportions, as can be seen below.


His art ranges in what is displayed, from simple product placement to funny concepts and ideas. His art always holds a bright, jovial tone to it, and is always reflected by the smile on his face. To me, art is about having fun making something great, and Julian Beever serves to display that perfectly.
