The Magical Art of Olivier Redon
Examine the Coca-Cola can featured in the main image.
It is not actually a can but an optical illusion created through a clever use of perspective. Can you determine how this effect was achieved?
This illusion is the latest creation by Olivier Redon, a French-American inventor whose works have been showcased in museums and television programs worldwide.
For today’s puzzles, five of Redon’s most remarkable images are presented. The challenge is to figure out the techniques he used to produce these illusions.
Take another look at the can. What are you truly observing?
This is not a red box! What exactly is Redon holding in his hand?
The iPhone image depicts two dinosaurs of identical size. How did Redon capture this photograph?
This is a portrait of Redon and his daughter. What method was used to take this picture?
At first glance, this appears to be a cube with words on three external faces. But can you discern what you are really seeing?
I will return at 5pm UK time with explanations for each of these images. Please check back then. The illusions are truly remarkable.
Meanwhile, feel free to discuss your favorite optical illusions.
