This is a series of works by Julian Beever. All of the images are created with simple sidewalk chalk with extremely skewed proportions so that from the right angle they appear completely lifelike. They stand as definite pieces of artwork and demonstrate that art can be created anywhere within the artist imagination, having the potential to inspire people from all walks of life. The crowded, flawed sidewalks became a canvas for Beever as well as a display for all that passed. I view art as something that has the ability to affect its viewer in someway. From the rushed businessmen to the homeless, Beever's creations evoke some sort emotion. Some may feel surprised or overwhelmed with wonder while others ultimately may find inspiration--all of which are responses and demonstrative of the effects of art.
