Times Square

The artwork I chose today is by Julian Beever,a chalk artist. He is known for creating trompe l'oeil chalk drawings on pavement surfaces. His artwork is created by a projection called anamorphosis, an illusion of three dimensions from a correct angle.
What I most like about this artwork is the artist's realism but still maintaining a cartoonish aspect.Also the unusual point of view in which Times Square is being seen combined with the illusion of Times Square being below the street makes the painting more appealing.
In this painting it almost seems as Times Square is like Atlantis, a lost city in the Ocean or in this case, a city at the bottom of a pool. I also believe the artist did a good job in putting the little child next to the drawing,in order to create a better illusion.
