Varini argues that the work exists as a whole – with its complete shape as well as the fragments. Varini has been creating optical illusions throughout the artist’s 30 plus year career, several of which revolved around anamorphic illusions. So what is this process actually called? Anamorphosis is a clever eye trick that appears distorted unless it is viewed from a special angle or with a special instrument. The paintings are characterized by one vantage point from which the viewer can see the complete painting (usually a simple geometric shape such as circle, square, line), while from other view points the viewer will see ‘broken’ fragmented shapes. He is widely known for his geometric perspective-localized paintings of rooms and other spaces, using projector-stencil techniques.įelice paints on architectural and urban spaces, such as buildings, walls and streets. Felice Varini is a Swiss artist who was nominated for the 2000/2001 Marcel Duchamp Prize.
