Have No Narrow Perspectives

Of all the art I saw (sculptures and paintings) during my trip to Chicago on June 11, this was the one that impressed me the most.

Have No Narrow Perspectives

Ryan Oakes & Trevor Oakes (2009)

Having embarked upon various visual experiments since the age of 3, twin artists Ryan and Trevor Oakes have developed a method to trace the world before them onto a curved surface, completely freehand and by eye alone. Described as one of the most original breakthroughs in the rendering of visual space since the Renaissance; Millennium Park and the Department of Cultural Affairs in association with the Chicago Humanities Festival proudly present their first public sculpture.

Millennium Park, Chicago - June 11, 2009

I like it so much because ink sketching is the type of art I most wish I could do and this is the most amazing example of it that I’ve ever seen.
