Does the mention of "3D Street Art" ring any bells for you? If you
belong to Tracy Lee Strum’s homeland (US), this may come as no surprise. For
many in Odisha(India) however this is an unheard form of art. Streets for most
people here serve the simple purpose, namely commuting. Street, as a canvas for 3D art, is a completely unique concept visiting Bhubaneswar, Odisha for the first time ever. On 6th February at 16 Satyanagar, in
front of the Bakul Children’s Library, Tracy spun magic, creating
beautiful free hand organic murals with
the help of chalk, semi-permanent materials and a few volunteers and assistants.
The skillfully executed the 2-D paintings,( utilizing anamorphic technique)
come alive and acquire a 3rd dimension when seen at a particular
point by the lens. This rare workshop for children and youth materialized
due to the joint endeavor of Bakul Foundation and the US Consulate of Hyderabad.
