The post Artist Blends a Tree With Manhattan Skyline as Part of an Impressive Art Illusion appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>Lee, who previously earned internet fame on YouTube with hyperrealist drawing videos, recently presented a cool new project that saw him blend a tree with the skyline of Manhattan, New York City.
In a video posted on his social media, Lee can be seen wrapping a cloth around a tree on the Brooklyn side of the East River. Across the river is Manhattan’s Financial District, also known as FiDi.
The artist first covers the cloth with some yellow and black spray paint before starting to paint the part of the FiDi that the tree is covering. Little by little, the tree becomes “see-through,” revealing what’s on the other side of the river.
The end result is stunning, as the painting on the tree perfectly blends in with the Financial District skyline. It looks like someone cut down the tree in the middle to allow an undisturbed view. The only thing that gives away the illusion is the ferryboat that passes by at one point.
Check out Lee’s amazing art illusion below.

]]>“Imagine a photo of a person, and it has gone through the shredder to be discarded,” she described her work in an interview with Interlocutor, explaining that “this is the visual foundation for the sliced works.” According to King, through her manipulated work she hopes to elicit a strong response. The message being, she explains: “if it upsets you so much to see me destroy this luxury item—an object—why does it not upset you to see a person being destroyed in life?”
Naturally, her dramatic portraits (sliced or not), haven’t gone unnoticed. With some 333k followers on Instagram alone, King has received recognition both online and offline, having won several awards for her hyperrealistic portrait paintings. Her paintings have also been the subject of solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums internationally, showcasing throughout Canada and the United States, as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates. Her portraits are also found in both private and public collections worldwide including the MET’s publication collection.
According to King, her journey to becoming an artist doesn’t have a defined starting point. “I’ve been painting from before I could walk or talk,” she recalls. “While I was growing up you could see the art follow the lead of realism. My scratchy kid drawings started to become more refined the more I drew or painted. Hyperrealism was just the natural evolution of that refinement.”
