I find these quite cool to look at.
Always also liked those pavement artworks which are sort of 3D

Kinda reminds me of some of Salvador Dali's stuff.

Yeah, I used to really like Salvador Dali's work when I was doing art at school, especially the bent clocks.

A few of these are tessellations, where the negative space of one object becomes positive space of another object. Never could successfully do that.

Excellent example from your link:

Good to have the word for it. I have come across the word before, a long time ago.
I absolutely love that image. I am kind of very much into art anyway. There is something quite, dare I say it, ethereal about some of these images.

Escher and those stairs... whenever I see a certain scene in Labyrinth, that makes me think of Escher. Another interesting artist.

They're like a fusion of Magritte and Escher. Really cool stuff. Thanks.  :plus:

Hell, I'll have to stop following all these links. My time is getting eaten up !

I really like all of those, sg, especially the last one. I would love to have some of these up on my walls.
