Anamorphic art is produced with an amazing perspective technique.
“Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth”.
Anamorphosis, in visual art, is a perspective technique that makes a distorted image of an image. The distortion disappears and the image in the photo looks normal if you move around.
It’s a very old technique…
The term anamorphosis was first used in the 17th century. This technique was one of the more curious discoveries of perspective in the 14th and 15th centuries.
An anamorphic illusion = a projection art technique.
It’s been around for a long time but is having a recent comeback in retail advertising, signage, and urban art.
The word is derived from the Greek word meaning “to transform”.
Anamorphosis is a distorted projection… that requires the viewer to occupy a specific point, use special devices, or both to view a recognizable image.
