An optical illusion is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a percent does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, tilt, color, movement), and cognitive illusions where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences. They can also be known as "mind games".

Infinity, "Optical Illusion Painting", by k Madison Moore
Infinity
If you think this was easy try it! There are only three curved lines in this illusion painting. All of the other lines are straight. Painting this was a "Real Challenge"! But...it was fun but my eyes kept crossing! LOL!

What a challenging painting and you've mastered it beautifully! Love the bl/wt stripes and the areas where the darker shadows of the curves overlap. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteGreat Painting! WOW! I could not imagine! It reminds me of the Alice In wonderland Movie By Tim Burton, I just LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gwen, appreciate your comments.

Thanks Jen xo
ReplyDeleteThey just had a good exhibition of Bridget Riley in London.. wondered if you liked her work. As you say, a real challenge as it begins to become very technical indeed!
ReplyDeleteYes, I "love" her work! Wish I could have seen her exhibit. Lucky you! Yes, very, very technical. Don't know that I could do it all the time. Thanks for stopping by. M:)
