Artist Spotlight: Feice Varini, Illusionist

I think we're living in the most stylized free era of art there has ever been. Free, because, we don't have governmental or religious restraints on our very talents. Back in the day, baaabaaay, they would lock you away or just off you for believing you had the right to just make any old thing that sprang from your imagination. No, no--art had to conform. Michaelangelo wasn't just divinely inspired to paint the 16th chapel; he was also well paid by the state-church. So let's celebrate in this era of free thought!

Illusion art is by far the most exciting genre of free modern art. It challenges the viewer to step into a plain of thinking, grabs your perception of what you think you see, nudges you just a tad to the left and gives you new eyes and a fresh work without changing the canvas. Ten people can literally see 50 different images from the same installation just depending on where they are standing in the room. That's exactly what modern artist, Feice Varini does. If you don't know this amazing man, child where you been?

Do you see!?!?!? How amazing is he!?

Six weeks ago, i posted this to my instagram. I snapped it, looked at it and was like "Oh, wow!" Just by tilting my head, and playing around with the filter I created a double image illusion. Do you see it?

I'm so excited and feel so fortunate to be in this era of art. Museums aren't just for the elite anymore, and many are even free. Wake up your senses to what's going on today, because who knows what will be next.

Tut tut,
Grace :)
