Urban Avian Artwork

These Life-Life Murals Depict Flying Seagulls and Herons

— August 2, 2015 — Art & Design
The Italian street artist known as 'Eron' designed a beautiful urban mural that depicts a series of flying seagulls and herons. Unlike traditional street art, Eron's artwork boasts a three-dimensional quality that makes it appear as though the birds are actually in mid-flight. The optical illusion is both startling and intriguing.

The mural itself is titled 'Concrete vs. Concrete' and it is located under a bridge in Riccione, Italy. The murals are done with spray paint, yet they look three-dimensional when viewed from a distance. The visual effect mimics the image of birds in various stages of flight. The flying seagulls and herons thus take on a life-life quality that makes the concrete background look like a realistic scene from nature.
Trend Themes
1. 3D Street Art - This trend of creating three-dimensional street art could be leveraged by companies in the art and advertising industries to create engaging and eye-catching installations that capture people's attention.
2. Optical Illusion Art - The use of optical illusions in art presents an opportunity for artists and designers to push the boundaries of perception and create immersive and interactive experiences for viewers.
3. Nature-inspired Murals - The popularity of nature-inspired murals opens up possibilities for businesses in the interior design and hospitality industries to incorporate such artwork in their spaces, providing a calming and visually appealing environment for customers and clients.
Industry Implications
1. Art - Incorporating 3D street art and optical illusions in traditional art forms can create innovative artworks that stand out in the industry and attract a wide audience.
2. Advertising - Using 3D street art and optical illusions in advertising campaigns can capture consumers' attention and make brands more memorable and innovative.
3. Interior Design - Integrating nature-inspired murals into interior design projects can create unique and visually appealing spaces that offer a sense of tranquility and connection to nature.
