This new stuff from artists like Tracy borrows from that era and overlays a new urban canvas - pieces taking as “little” as 4 hours, or as long as four or more days. That’s why I caught up with her in an interview below.Īnamorphic art (distorted perspective which requires the viewer to occupy a specific vantage point) is as old as the Renaissance. To Tracy, it’s all a matter of perspective.

Where most people see a piece of chalk and a stretch of sidewalk, Tracy sees yawning chasms, hidden underground cities, mythological creatures and ancient gods.

In particular the work of Tracy Lee Stum have blown my mind of late – pushing the boundaries of what can be done with perspective and chalk, creating innovative new ways to expand the medium. Regular readers here know I’m a big fan of street art.
