Asphalt Renaissance by Kurt Wenner
Kurt Wenner revolutionised this ancient art by creating a technique that produces astounding images in 3-D; they reach out of the pavement toward the viewer and appear perilously deep. This title recounts the re-imagining of street painting by innovative artist and Internet sensation Kurt Wenner. It also includes a poster.
Kurt Wenner worked for NASA as an advanced scientific space illustrator, but left to pursue his love of classical art. In Rome, he began creating street paintings to finance his travels and study; within a few years, he had won several gold medals in European competitions. In 1985, Wenner was the subject of a National Geographic documentary called Masterpieces in Chalk. He has received the Kennedy Center Medallion in recognition of his outstanding contribution to arts education.
