The Anti-Mona Lisa
Felice Varini is a Swiss artist that creates enormous, perspective-challenging geometric paintings on buildings, in offices, and other public forums. From one vantage point, the design is complete. But from another vantage point, the design splinters into disconnected lines, curves and slivers of colors. According to Varini:
The painted form achieves its coherence when the viewer stands at the vantage point. When he moves out of it, the work meets with space generating infinite vantage points on the form. It is not therefore through this original vantage point that I see the work achieved; it takes place in the set of vantage points the viewer can have on it.
No matter what angle you look at it, the sheer size and precision of his work is astounding.
