Kurt Wenner is a Master of Painters and Master of Famous Architect who created three-dimensional images. Such as: 3D Street Painting, 3D Painting of Asphalt (Pavement Art), 3D Chalk Painting (Chalk Art) or 3D Painting Sidewalk (Sidewalk Art), this is an anamorphic art form. Anamorphism is usually regarded as a form of illusion or trompe loeil, but is actually the Logic of the Mathematical Perspective.
The designation for the people who make this art varies. Called Madonnaro (a kind of chalk) in Italy, or a Strassenmaler in Germany, and a Sidewalk Sidewalker in the United States, or an Aspal Path Painter (Pavement) in England. But now street painters (Street Painters) and Asphalt Painters (Pavement Arts) have turned out of the way. After learning classical architecture and perspective, Kurt Wenner applied the principles of classic drawings and classic designs to the sidewalk, completely changing the format of this art.
Kurt Wenner himself started his first mural work at the age of sixteen and in about 16-17 he made a living as a graphic artist. He attended both the Rhode Island School of Design and the Art Center College of Design, before working for NASA. While at NASA Wenner worked as a talented scientific illustrator, creating a conceptual painting of future space projects and the space landscape. In 1982 he left NASA.
In the mid-1980s Wenner first introduced his 3D sidewalk work at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Shortly afterwards he founded the first street painting festival in the United States on an old mission in Santa Barbara, California. The Old Mission Festival, also known as I Madonnari, continues to this day as it did at many festivals and events. One fact in Wenner's career is that he dedicates one month in every year, for ten years, to teaching over 100,000 students from elementary to university level about how to work with chalk and pastel. For his dedication, he was awarded the Kennedy Center Medallion for his outstanding contribution to art education.
Wenner's image always tells a story and challenges people to reconsider the use of classicism that has been forgotten during the modern art era. Wenner believed that the language of classicism was an important tool that had been neglected for too long. He developed a 3D sidewalk art instead illustrating that a new art form can be expressed in this language. Wenner not only became famous for his own body work, he accidentally became the father of the art movement.
His works by using Lime can be seen in the National Geographic documentary that established 3D Street Painters (Street Painters) as a new art form. With the ever-increasing popularity of Wenner's drawings, hundreds of artists around the world became inspired to create their own versions of three-dimensional pavement art. Artists such as Julian Beever, Manfred Stader, and Edgar Muller and others can trace their roots back to their discoveries in the early 1980s. Using a computer program or simple geometry to create the illusion they were able to approach the effect of Wenner's three-dimensional illusion. sometimes their works are original and but often also imitate Kurt Wenner's earlier works.
Currently, Kurt Wenner is writing Street Painting, explaining how the Sidewalk and Asphalt Paintings transforms him into a spectacular person, popular in Advertising, Publicity and many "Street Painting festivals."
In addition to creating 3D Street Painting for Publicity and Advertising, Kurt Wenner also designed the Villa and Residential Architecture. He also created a luxurious and classic interior design for Product Design.
