A 3D work of art by Patrick Hughes, the creator of Reverspective.

This gallery of surreal artworks, including Magritte, Dali, Ernst and Man Ray, is an optical illusion on a three-dimensional surface. Created in Patrick's signature Reverspective, the elements of the work that appear furthest away (the corner of the walls) are actually nearest to the viewer physically. Standing nearly 20 cm from the surface of the picture, these corners create a surreal, yet extraordinarily accurate, illusion of depth. It is an illusion that has to be seen to be believed. 

Patrick's first work of this kind was created in 1964 and Sticking Out Room was a life-size room for the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in 1970.
