These collages from German artist Hubert Blanz are insane. You feel as if you are looking at a road map on some kind of special 'trip.'
I love these pieces, as they play with scale and, therefore, your mind. At first glance, you feel that these could be real road junctions. Then you look really closer and realize that they are only the result of a brilliant artist.
Implications - Artists like Hubert Blanz are extremely talented solely because of their ability to create artwork that appears to mimic reality. While this art may not in fact be actual highways, it sure does look real enough to be!
