This past summer we had the chance to meet , the way an excellent artist works of photo manipulation as is Erik Johansson. In a series of videos he showed us his creative process and how ideas emerge to define each of those works with which he usually surprises us.
As with 'The Architect' or 'The architect' where its main objective is confuse our mind so that you try to find the perfect solution to imagine what you are "seeing". A work that can become dizzy when we try to mentally order each of the elements that at first offer the interior of a house, so that it could look like the exterior itself.
Rob gonsalves is another artist of the image who with his paintings leads us to that way of deceiving the mind to show that what at one time seems like a thing, goes directly to another with hardly any time to blink.
We can also remember Roy Lichtenstein with his house looking for the same effect as Johannson to totally change the prism of what is being seen with an optical effect. The video below takes you before him.
If we go further back in time MC Escher is the magician of optical effects with that architecture that leads to confusion and that plays with the mind of the viewer in a spectacular way.
Several artists who take us directly to this new work by Erik Johannson with that placid everyday situation where we find the creator and his dog, very sad indeed, in that house that seems very homely to portray other dimensions and another optical effect of great workmanship and finish.
For those of you who know to this artist for the first time you have your website to know all his work.
