Recently, Dutch street artists Jan Is De Man and Deef Feed\ncreated a trompe l\u2019oeil mural bookcase on an apartment building in Utrecht,\nNetherlands.\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe first idea was to paint a smiley. A very big smiley.\nBecause I believe people become more happy when they see a smiley every day.\nBut this idea didn\u2019t feel complete, it felt too simple,\u201d he told Bored Panda.\n\n\n\n After studying the canvas, the idea of making a gigantic bookcase came about as \u201cvisual illusion in art, especially as used to trick the eye into perceiving a painted detail as a three-dimensional object.\u201d De Man loves making illusions on walls and making people happy, so this idea could probably bring this all together.\n\n\n\n \u201cAll local residents and people involved have been allowed to hand in their favorite book and we (Deef Feed and I) have incorporated this into this mural,\u201d according to his website. \n\n\n\n Since the mural has been revealed to the public, it has become an artistic source to bring the neighbors together and for others to appreciate the incredible painting. \n\n\n\n
