I Wonder How Many People Have Been Fooled,

by this 'tree' apparently made of bricks?

it is the work of Spanish artist Pejac who travels the world creating street interventions, we have featured his work a few times before,

often integrating natural elements into man-made structures through a combination of stenciling and trompe l’oeil painting, 

His most recent projects have brought him to New York City for the first time, where he has created two arboreal artworks in Bushwick,

and Chinatown, Pejac formed Fossil, in Brooklyn’s Bushwick neighborhood, using a brick-sized stencil to spray paint carefully placed shadows on a brick wall, this illusion of bricks sinking back and surging forward creates a pixelated tree,

Chinatown’s Inner Strength is fully hand-painted, depicting a cherry blossom branch growing out of a security gate and surrounding by flying swallows,

in addition to his outdoor work, Pejac occasionally creates editioned prints using a variety of techniques ranging from lithography to screenprinting, You can follow the artist’s travels on Instagram and Facebook, or those in New York, Fossil is located at 27 Scott Avenue in Brooklyn, and Inner Strength can be found at 2 Henry Street in Manhattan, and no I am not on commission, I just thought that street art like this that can fool the observer is so neat.
