Tromp l'oeil

Tromp l\

Tromp l'oeil ~ the art of playfully exploring the boundary between image & reality.

Graham Rust, an artist from Great Britain, has distinguished himself as a master of the art!

A fanciful form of architectural Tromp l'œil known as quodlibet was used by painters in the 17th century to “open up” the space of a wall or ceiling.

His masterpiece, ten years in the making, a mural at Ragley Hall, Warwickshire, England.
For a more in-depth look at this amazing artist & his beautiful work, be sure and visit Annechovie, where my good friend Anne Harwell has included Graham Rust in her wonderful Artist Portrait series.
