So often I look at renowned artworks and think nothing less than; what a load of rubbish!

But this is something else. Amazing to behold.

REAL art. Superb… and prolific…. in many countries.

Your comments…….

Ludwig,
Now THIS is art! Definitely yes. But don't underestimate the power of a blank page.

certainly a lot more skillful than taking photographs of naked young girls and calling it art like some in the 'profression'.

Luddy, the guy is a major talent.
Consider the viewers mind, it grapples with a 1D object and projects it into 3D, how easily fooled are our perceptions of depth and field.

Compare graffiti artists in contract to this chalk art; I know which one earns my kudos. It also reminds me to be aware of amazing youtube video’s that show our eyes amazing things, we are easily fooled.

Holograph projections will be the next thing, then we will have to touch everything we see to be sure it is real.

It's certainly clever and it's imaginative but I think the actual execution would be done with the aid of some sort of preliminary technology, not just done freehand and spontaneously.

It's like the corporate advertising sprayed onto sports playing fields for the benefit of the TV cameras.

But is it really "art"?

Yes, Ludwig,
Absolutely amazing.

If artists were paid on ability, he should be worth a fortune.

We are blessed to be able to see his work.
