Reverspective: Patrick Hughes

Created by artist Patrick Huges, Reverspective or reverse perspective refers an art illusion on a three-dimensional surface where the parts of the picture which seem farthest away are actually physically the nearest.

From his website "Reverspectives are three-dimensional paintings that when viewed from the front initially give the impression of viewing a painted flat surface that shows a perspective view. However as soon as the viewer moves their head even slightly the three dimensional surface that supports the perspective view accentuates the depth of the image and accelerates the shifting perspective far more than the brain normally allows. This provides a powerful and often disorienting impression of depth and movement."     






Can you figure out this optical illusion that’s leaving everyone’s ‘brain hurting’
