This blew my mind when I saw it yesterday. At first glance, everyone is going to assume that this image has been photoshopped with a bunch of giant tapes. If you tell them it isn't then they will reason to say that they are either real or painted, but if you tell them that both are wrong, they will arrive at one big question mark as I did myself. Apparently they are bas-relief mosaics made with old wood cuts. Now I had no idea what this was, but a google search on the subject revealed it to be "a form of sculpture in which a solid piece of material is carved so that objects project from a background, almost as though they are trapped in the stone, metal, wood, or other materials used to make the bas-relief". Of course from far away or looking at a low resolution picture such as the one above it looks amazingly real, but if you look closer at a high resolution photo, things will reveal themselves to be not all that they seem. The outcome is nonetheless stunning, leaving you to wonder how it was accomplished, even though you technically know how. The artist responsible for all this, Ron van der Ende, has quite an extensive collection of such amazing art work. I would encourage you to check it out, it plays with your mind. http://www.artbbq.nl/ron/menu-eng.htm
