Gooderham Building Mural

Posted by
Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 23 January 2018 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

The back of the Gooderham Building in Toronto has this mural on it done by Canadian artist Derek Besant. The image is of the Perkins building across the street and is done in the style of Trompe L’Oeil (trick the eye) or an optical illusion. The illusion makes it seem like there are more windows than there actually are, as well as making it look layered as opposed to flat.

I love Trompe-l'œil. I used to teach a unit of it and optical illusions before I retired. The kids always enjoyed it. They really liked Julian Beever, the British sidewalk chalk artist.
