Optical Illusion Art Can Come in Many Forms
Optical illusion art, also known as Op Art, is an artistic style that intentionally takes advantage of human perception. By doing so, it reveals the human eye’s ability to deceive the brain. Op Art in essence gives you three options of appreciation, the illusion of the art, the truth of the art, or the entire work.
There are three types of optical illusion art, they are physiological, cognitive and literal illusions. All three have the same result for the viewer, what you see does not measure up and your brain is seemingly forced to look deeper.
Some optical illusion art can be mind-bending and others have subtle characteristics that make a huge difference in their presentation. Below you will find some mind-bending art anyone can enjoy.

Orange Mandarin by David Letchford
Orange Mandarin is less dependent on the paint or ink to bring the illusion. The continuation of David Letchford’s 3D paintings relies on adding uniquely shaped wood that gives the illusion of the bird coming out of the painting.
The paint is softly blended into the wood that is sanded and coated to bring out the natural look of the wood. David left no doubt this is a unique piece and a great decor in an adequate setting.
The result of his efforts is a truly unique piece of optical illusion art.
