Trompe L’Oeil

I’ve got (more than) a little bit of a thing for novelty prints – particularly photorealistic prints or forced perspective. I’ve only recently discovered this term, but it perfectly describes the things that I’m drawn to: Trompe l’oeil is a visual illusion art technique, where images are painted or drawn to resemble 3D objects. Like a painting that looks as if the walkway continues through it. Or a deck of cards painted on a table to look as if they’re really there. It’s one of those prints you need to look thrice at, because you just can’t tell if it’s a print or the real thing…. T rompe l’oeil...
