Reverse Perspective Sculptures
These interactive, 3D, reverse perspective, painted sculptures were originally the brain child of London artist Patrick Hughes. Patrick chose to share his concept with Calilfornia artists Phil Dynan and Anastasia Nelson.
These unique sculptures are interactive with the viewer. They appear to move and change as the viewer changes position. Whether the viewer moves up or down, right or left, the sculpture changes. Solid math and a bit of magic involved! Often we see people break into spontaneous dance while viewing the sculptures, which ALWAYS bring joy and happiness to the viewer. Dynan and Nelson continue to consult with Patrick, but work from their Northern California studio. Each sculpture takes from 8-24 months to complete.
These sculptures/paintings are the collaborative work of Anastasia Nelson and Phil Dynan.
