The apocalyptic scene may appear to be straight from a Hollywood disaster movie – but it is actually an amazing 3D-effect painting by artist Edgar Mueller. Edgar, 40, created the work – Lava Burst in Gelder – for a street painting contest in his native Germany.
An earlier piece saw him turn River Street in Moose Jaw, Canada, into a torrent and waterfall. He explained: “It’s a new artform that only a handful of people do worldwide. It tricks people’s eyes and shows them a new reality.”
Bet it’s quite an experience for motorists while Edgar’s road work is in progress. Guess that’s called being stuck in brush-hour traffic
