What you are about
to witness is some mind bending work of the artist Peeta, also known as Manuel Di
Rita. Very experienced graffiti artist who lives in Venice, Italy. He uses his
optical illusion arts to turn some ordinary building in the neighborhood into
fantasy-fiction level construction. In the end it looks like a giant twisted
sculpture rather than the building it used to be. In here on this article we
have a closer look of his work on a building in Mannheim, Germany which he
painted for the 2019 Stadt.Wand.Kunst
mural project.
For this work he
have chosen ring shapes, which according to him, can be used for break rigid
architectures and sharp edges without adding any visual weight to the structure.
He says it makes a balance between voids and solids of the art. “A trompe
l'oeil through simple elements”.
Peeta doesn’t just
do painting. He looks into the background of his work environment before he
starts. About the culture and social status of the place. Because as he says it
always involves with his technical studies on perspective, light and the
geometrical calculation over any involved surface. You can see how experience
he is by the amount of wisdom he is pouring into these words. And how
disciplined he is with his work.
To do the
calculations mentioned above, he photographs his work site and uses the source
material to create sketches. And later for 3D renderings. You can see how well
it worked out when you look into those images. Just look how well it blends
with the background and even with the sky.
We also have little
video of Peeta working on this project and also images of his few other works.
