Hypnotic Portal Paintings

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Framed Images by Street Artist 1010 are Colorful Optical Illusions

— September 7, 2015 — Art & Design
Anonymous street artist 1010 created these small portal paintings, which resemble psychedelic passages leading to alternate universes. Each image is unique thanks to the artist's use of various handcut paper shapes and an assortment of acrylic paint strokes.

The shapes resemble a vertical puddle after a rainstorm -- a puddle that transforms into a vortex that welcomes each guest into an unknown universe. Guests are welcome to stare into each optical illusion which is both colorful and mesmerizing.

Each of these portal paintings uses a different shape and various colors to keep the work interesting. Street artist 1010 created this collection of small prints to be hung in homes, a vastly different canvas than that of the artist's traditional cityscape murals.
