The World Of 3D Street Art: Renaissance Roots

The penchant for putting chalk to sidewalk was practiced widely by Italian vagabond artists. Known as the Madonnari because of their copious reproductions of Madonna, the artists would travel between festivals, creating religious works from brick, charcoal, colored stones and chalk. Giving credence to the ‘starving artist’ stereotype, the Madonnari lived solely off the coins passers-by tossed at them for their skill.

This practice continued for centuries until the hardships of WW2 significantly reduced the numbers of the Madonnari. However, the art form was revitalized thanks to the International Street Painting Festival in Northern Italy, and the tradition has morphed

3D street art — alternatively known as pavement, chalk or sidewalk art — is a form of anamorphic art pioneered by American Kurt Wenner. Sprawling over sidewalks, walls, and public spaces, artists use chalk or pastels to render pictures that use mathematical continuation of perspective to give the illusion of three-dimensionality. Though the medium is widely regarded as a modern art, street art traces its origins back to the Renaissance.

  3D Street Painting
Pavement painting, pavement drawing and sidewalk chalk art is done by artists from all over the world, such as the street painters Kurt Wenner or Edgar Mueller or the pavement artist Julian Beever. Through the study of anamorphosis used in the paintings of the Renaissance and Baroque periods to give an illusion of more height and broadness, Kurt Wenner developed a new form of street art, the 3D street painting, to produce three-dimensional impressions on a two-dimensional horizontal surface, the asphalt.

This new art form of street painting has been gaining in importance all around the globe and is disseminated by numerous artists. It is admired at street painting festivals as well as promotional events.

Manfred Stader combines the street painters' "folk" art, which sprung up in Italy in the 16th century, with the modern perception of illusion painting of the 21st century, using pastel chalk. This art appeals to a very large audience.

The most popular form of his art as a street painter are the interactive projects - or interactive street art - where onlookers can pose in a logical connection with the pavement art image to get photographed or filmed.

A brand new form of pavement drawing is XXL 3D street painting - as seen for instance in the latest work of Edgar Mueller. It is mostly done directly onto the asphalt by using acrylic paints. An example of this type of 3D pavement art can be found at the the top of this site under XXL - Schiphol Waterfall.
