Largest 3D Street art

Pictures of what is purportedly the "largest three-dimensional street-painting ever done" are flooding onto the internet and attracting a world-wide fascination.

Aptly painted on a road called River Street and a major attraction during this year’s ‘Moose Jaw Prairie Arts Festival’ in Canada, the artwork has become a popular topic of conversation on hundreds of blogs and forums.

Entitled Turning River Street into a river, German painter Edgar Muller and a team of artists managed to turn about 280 square metres into a river – complete with a waterfall and a raft.

One blogger commented that it was one of the best artworks that they had ever seen. “The artist did an amazing job, they turned the street into a river,” a Fun Forever blog user commented. “I love it when people stand on such pictures and it looks like they are a part of the painting.

Mr Muller and fellow German artist Manfred Stader have created street paintings for some of the world’s biggest companies, including car manufacturer Ford, Coca-Cola and Johnny Walker.

While Mr Stader learned his craft in France and Italy, Mr Muller’s techniques came from “self-learning and interactions with numerous street painting artists”.
