What is the street stereoscopic painting?

Street stereoscopic painting uses the principle of plane perspective to create a visual virtual stereoscopic effect, giving visitors an immersive feeling. The scenery in 3D street painting is three-dimensional, delicate and realistic, which can often achieve the artistic effect of confusing the fake with the real.

The principle is that the painting made by using the stereoscopic vision phenomenon of human eyes is mainly due to the difference between what the left and right eyes see, and then through the principle of optical focusing and the principle of proportional distribution of vision and color, we feel that things are "stereoscopic".

Simulating three-dimensional space effect on two-dimensional plane has always been the focus of human visual art, especially since the Renaissance, solving this problem has become one of the important standards for artistic progress and art history writing. Therefore, after the Renaissance, church murals, zenith paintings, city halls, aristocratic apartments and villas have all become excellent simulation places. 3D street painting can be regarded as an important development and extension of this artistic logic in the contemporary era. The so-called 3D street painting, as its name implies, is to display the painting on the ground to obtain a three-dimensional artistic effect, or to create the painting directly on the ground.

Strictly speaking, 3D street painting originated from abroad and has a history of more than 20 years, and has developed into a mature artistic expression. Adhering to the post-modern painting concept, it was born under the background of western popular culture. At first, it was a way for western avant-garde street artists to express themselves and show their individuality. Its creative cost is low, limited by the venue, and it has great freedom. Therefore, it has become a favorite art form of some western grassroots artists since its birth. Because of its entertainment and humor, it is easy to be associated with popular cultural elements, and the venue is open, and the creation and display process are completed in the open air, breaking the sense of estrangement between the people and the traditional painting art hall, so it is easy to be recognized, loved and welcomed by visitors.

The earliest street stereoscopic painting in Germany was created with chalk by a street painter with more than 20 years of creative experience. Street chalk painting is a traditional art form in Germany and Italy, which appeared as early as 16 to 17 century and was gradually forgotten. It was not until 1973 that a church invited street artists to create chalk paintings for the church, which made this art popular again. Therefore, some artists dedicated to 3D street painting came into being. For example, the Danish artist Julian Beever is one of the best, which also shows that this culture is spreading to China.

In 2005, Qi, the first 3D street painting artist in China, introduced the 3D street painting art to China. His first floor painting "Vortex" (formerly known as a pit) was exhibited in Beijing (Peking University, Beijing Drum Tower, Tsinghua University, Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan, etc. ) and caused a certain sensation. In the past two years, his 3D street paintings have participated in exhibitions such as the Olympic Games. With the active role of the Internet and other media, 3D street paintings have gradually become familiar and accepted by the public, with a certain degree of awareness and reputation. However, on the whole, this art form is still in the ascendant stage in China, and the public still has strong curiosity and interest in this new art form. Due to the promotion of art and the development of grid, this culture has frequently appeared on the internet in the past few years, and was once very popular with netizens in China. Street stereoscopic painting appeared in Shanghai in 2006. The local media described it as "illusion after illusion", but there was a cup of tea in the painting. In 2007, three-dimensional painting came to Guangzhou, and the protagonist became a cola product. The sponsor of this 2008 Beijing street stereoscopic painting became a dairy company.

In real life, in the past two years, three-dimensional paintings have begun to appear on the streets of China, but they have changed. Perhaps because of the restriction of China's urban management, many street stereoscopic paintings can only appear in certain occasions.
