Meet the Simpsons family and South Park characters from a whole other “perspective”! See these 14 Amazing Perspective Sculptures.

The Simpsons Family

Perspective Sculptures
James Hopkins is the British artist who created this amazing perspective sculpture. Looking from the sides it looks as a bunch of thrown together spare parts, but if you put yourself in front of it, all the pieces line up, and creates a perfect image of the Simpsons family. Link

 

Flying Superman Perspective Sculpture

Perspective Sculptures
Korean Artist Kang Duck-Bong made this superman perspective sculpture using colored plastic tubes and created the amazing effect of a flying superman. <a href=”Link

Itchy and Scratchy characters

Perspective Sculptures
Thanks to the optical illusion created by James Hopkins, these objects that have been strategically placed surely look like a mess from the sides, but then again, position yourself in front of it, and you almost won’t believe how those objects come together in perfect harmony. Link

“Trinity” Perspective Sculpture

Perspective Sculptures
Artist Jen Stark created this masterpiece called “Trinity”. It is made of resin, wood dowels, and acrylic paint. It looks more like a pencil’s pointy front, don’t you think? Well, Stark is known for her kaleidoscopic cut-paper sculptures, and she had the opportunity to show her work at “Shows & Tell Gallery” in Toronto earlier last year. See more of her work in display here. Link

Wooden Roller Coaster

Again, the talented artist James Hopkins really knows how to pull out these amazing perspective sculptures! You can’t notice the height of this particular rollercoaster very well from one perspective, but if looking from another angle, you can really notice it. Amazing, huh? Link

South Park Perspective Sculpture

Perspective Sculptures
I bet you’ ve never seen Kyle, Stan, Cartman and Kenny from this angle! Thank you James Hopkins! Link

Perspective sculpture: Walking strong man

Perspective Sculptures
This sculpture of a strong walking … man? – I think he looks more like a robot from “Transformers” – Well, the thing is that this masterpiece is made of PVC pipe coated with urethane paint. Pretty awesome, right? Link

The Simpsons: Jazz Hands

Perspective Sculptures
We’ve all seen these jazz hands before, most likely during one of the Simpson’s episodes, but… again, you’ve never seen THESE “jazz hands” from this perspective. Link

Biker in motion sculpture perspective

Tom and Jerry Perspective Sculpture

Perspective Sculptures
Everybody knows who Tom and Jerry are, but if you hadn’t seen the front image of this pic, you’d probably never guessed who these two were! Link

Child on a bike Perspective Sculpture

Perspective Sculptures
The “Disguise” collection of masterpieces by Korean artist named Kang Duck-Bong have the aim of showing movement and speed through this amazing PCV pipe, glued-together piece of work. Link

Mickey Mouse Perspective Structure

Speeding cars Perspective Sculptures

Perspective Sculptures
Kang Duck-Bong had the ability to create this “steady speed” optical illusion with plastic color pipes. If this is not talent, then I don’t know what to call it. Amazing work indeed! Link

The Sculpture constructed of a thousand reclaimed pieces of plexiglass

art installatios

New York artist Tom Fruin’s outdoor sculpture Kolonihavehus in the plaza of the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen has the appearance of a friendly and colorful stained-glass house, yet it also evokes thoughts of churches and Charles Rennie Macintosh.
Fruin’s sculpture is constructed of a thousand reclaimed pieces of plexiglass ranging in size from 2×2 to 24×36 inches. They originate from many sources, including a closed- down plexi distributorship near Copenhagen, a framing shop, the basement of the Danish State Art Workshops, and the dumpsters outside the Danish Architecture Center.link

Art installation ‘Shelter’, a giant number 4 made from discarded umbrellas by artist Stephanie Imbeau, winner Channel 4′s BIG4 public art competition, stands illuminated in front of the Channel 4 building on March 4, 2009 in London, England.

art installatios 

A massive installation by American artist Leo Villareal features approximately 41,000 LED nodes that run through a 200-foot-long tunnel in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C..

As passerbyers move between the East and West buildings on an airport style people mover, the zillions of lights flicker on and off over head creating rhythmic patterns and abstract configurations. The custom designed software also has an element of chance built into it, so it’s unlikely that anyone will see the same routine twice.link

Millions of Dust Particles Floating in the Air

art installatios

This art installation at Clark Shoes Headquarters in Street Somerset, South England and was commissioned by Mr Lance Clark and is the first phase of two, of the art work situated in the communal court yard in the heart of Clarks office buildings.
The installation itself was developed from a single observation – Light is only seen when reflected. A light beam coming through a window is only visible because light is reflected in the millions of dust particles floating in the air.
As wind and light changes during the day and the seasons, the dynamic of the installation alters – sometimes wild, illuminating the entire space, at other times calm reflecting the colors of the surroundings on grey
days.link
