▲

Street artist Kurt Wenner has also made a name for himself as a 3D artist, with performance included, as you can see from this incredible piece in Waterloo Station, London.

Wenner unveils his impressive creation of the Terracotta Army and Emperor Hanin at Waterloo station as part of promotion for 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.'

▲

Wenner created a beautifully interactive piece at the 3D Museum of Wonder in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Whether you call it sidewalk art, street painting, pavement art, or any of its other names, creating masterpieces where people usually walk goes against the idea that art must hang in the walls of galleries.

▲

Wenner crafted this piece for the cycling team Sky, who made it their mission to bring awareness to the endangerment of the rainforest and help save a billion trees in the Amazon.

▲

French street artists Zag and Sia take street painting up a level (or a few levels) by creating art on staircases.

▲

French street artist Sia poses on her and Zag's playful work in Paris.

▲

French artist Saype (Guillaume Legros) is famous for creating giant land art frescoes, like this one of a girl dropping an origami boat into Lake Geneva, painted to support the cause of the NGO SOS Méditerranée, which specializes in the rescue of migrants at sea.

▲

The giant fresco covers 5,000 sq m, but don't worry: it was produced with biodegradable paints made from natural pigments.

▲

This 600-m long painting by Saype depicts hands joined together at Paris' landmark Champs de Mars gardens in front of the Eiffel Tower.

▲

Saype really outdid himself with this piece showing two kids pointing at Les Crosets in Switzerland.

▲

▲

▲

Like Mueller and Wenner, Saype plays with 3D elements, but you do have to regard his works from much farther away.
