Jonty Hurwitz

Whilst I was researching the work of Tomoko Shioyasu I was looking at the website 'Colossal, Art and Visual Ingenuity' which showcases artists that create interesting and amazing illusions in their work.

I was really taken by one of the photographs on the site and decided to look into the artist and his work further.

The artist's name is Jonty Hurwitz and his work involves creating sculptures which play with perspective, so that when they are viewed from one angle, sometimes using reflections, they are perfectly formed, but when you move around you see how it takes a distorted sculpture to create that effect.

For example, as in these pictures, an elongated, distorted structure is required so that when reflected on the outer side of a cylinder the 'curved' reflection portrays the structure as a perfect recognisable form.

Here are some of the other works that really impressed me:
