DÉCLIC Wednesday Inspirations - Portuguese street artist Odeith gives some incredible creatures a nod in his own playful way through his larger-than-life urban murals of realistically painted insects and critters. Odeith takes the same approach with his paintings: they look distorted and unrecognizable, until one steps around and views them from a specific angle. Then, the work begins to make sense.⠀ Odeith has been doing street art since the 1980s, and is one of the pioneers of anamorphic 3D graffiti since the mid-2000s, where he gained international recognition for his experimental technique which he calls “sombre 3D”, which sometimes involves painting these optical illusion images on differently angled surfaces or corners and they stand out for their realism and technique.⠀ Odeith’s sense of humour shines through in the way he portrays these critters; sometimes they are made to look like menacing threats emerging from the dark, forgotten corners of the city, other times, they seem to be like gentle giants in the landscape.⠀ He created large scale murals for major national and international enterprises such as the London Shell, the Coca-Cola Company, Samsung, and several Portuguese city halls.⠀🐸 📸: @odeith https://buff.ly/2Kmbs9M⠀ .⠀ #mensfashion #mensfashionblog #fashionblogger #sartorial #menstyle #mensstyle #menswear #mensretail #melbourne #sydney #dapper #dapperman #dappermen #digitalart #3dart #odeith #designinspiration #frog #graffiti #treefrogs #design #frogs #designlife #3dgraffiti #lisbon #realistic #striking #style #art #creative
