virtual exibit artist Edgar Mueller
My virtual exibit is all about the artist Edgar Mueller. He is an amazing street artist. He has been called the chalk guy, but generally will block of a section of a street and paint. His work almost always involves people standing around it to make it more real and he draws inspiration for new paintings from comments on his website, http://www.metanamorph.com. I go to his page regularly just to see if he’s done anything new. Beside my older brother Mueller is my favorite artist.
I love the detail and colors in this one. He focuses a lot on the water and lines dripping into it.
Project series: The Caves
Geldern, Germany
August, 2008
During construction works in the German Village Geldern another Cave appeared which is very identical to the one in London. Also in a small Village in Slovenia such a mysterious Cave was discovered. In both Caves a green lightning comes out of the Cave’s Lake but it is much more intensive. It is still unclear what energy source causes the glow.
I love the melting effect. As a non gifted person who has tried art and failed I am blown away. Not only does it look real, but the colors are so bright even when he’s using darker colors
Project series: 3D Pavement Art
Geldern Germany
August 2008
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the international street painting Festival in Geldern Edgar Mueller painted a large sized, three-dimensional picture once more. He created a scenery appearing apocalyptic which invites the observer for proceeding in the picture.
Oh the phoenix coming out of the water. It’s still a wonder to me that he can get it to look erect when it is laying flat. and here is an example of how he incorporates people into his work.

City Art Gallery Grand Rapids – USA
Sep 21 – Oct 9 2011
Edgar:
Painting an eagle consisting of water, rising from a geyser has been a vision of mine for ages. The ArtPrize© Event has presented an opportunity for me to bring him to life.
This project here at ArtPrize© is about transformation of the earth, life and the conflicts of the world. One must challenge themselves to create and reinvent life’s direction. I find that one must fight with mind, body and soul to express our thoughts away from trained routines.
I love the bright colors and creativity. You can see the lightning make it’s way down the cave wall from the sun to strike the water
Project series: Evolution

beautiful image of water rushing down the street and I like the use of the person looking like she’s about to be swept away

River Street Moose Jaw – Canada
July, 2007
The first of Edgar Müller’s series of the large-sized street paintings was created in Moose Jaw (Canada-Saskatchewan) on the occasion of the Prairie Arts festival in summer 2007. “Turning Riverstreet into a River” was once the biggest three-dimensional street painting. 280 m² are covered with paint. With the help of local artists Edgar Mueller turned the street into a river which ended in an enormous waterfall.
oh the man hours and talent that go into these pieces. if you go to Mueller’s website you can see how he makes them. in stages

Dun Laoghaire – Ireland August 2008
In Dun Laoghaire the “Festival of World Culture” took place from 21. to 24. of August 2008. Edgar Müller has followed the invitation and continued his series of large-sized 3D Street Art there. For this year’s Festival of World Cultures Edgar Müller transformed a huge slice of the East Pier into a dramatic ice age scene. This project was supported by the Goethe Institution Germany.
Edgar Mueller was not happy with this piece. He only had fifty five hours to do it. He felt it was of poor quality, but it’s more talent than I could ever hope to have
Project series: 3D Pavement Art
Aarhus – Denmark
26.08. – 04.09.2011
I like that in most of his pieces the object is realistic. The dragon in the waterfall is a nice change

On August 18 a social project will start in Moscow: an international festival of children’s creativity and pre-school education “Bright People.” The festival is supported by the Department of Culture of the Moscow government.

I really like this one. I would have liked to see more color on the rocks, but the main focus is the waterfall.

I love the bright color of the fire. The picture being taken at night makes it look more realistic

I really like this guy. He has done an art that I don’t think too many people have thought about before. When chalk drawings come to mind you think about how children in the street. When I was researching Street Art in Tucson I came acrossed chalk drawings in a neighborhood near downtown Tucson. That drawing had nothing on this guy. I cant even imagine that amount of effort that it would take to create something like this. I don’t even know how he can envision it in his head and then compensate for it on the ground.This was well done, you help me find new artist to follow.
Well done. Despite you being nervous to go up and talk in front of everyone , you did a good job of conveying the material. I know that we touched on this artist in class, but you did a great job of refreshing us with the material. I enjoyed the many pictures that you had. It would make my day to be in Europe and to stumble a crossed this guy. I am truly pleased to read this posts which carries lots of awesome pictures, thanks for providing these kinds of information.
I really like the artist you chose to do your virtual exhibit on, Jenny. His work is simply incredible! The colors he uses forms the 3D affect very well. I have never seen anything like this in real life, but I think it would be awesome if I could. And I’m sure his photos just don’t do justice for his work. Like you said in your presentation how the art he creates flows in with the surroundings. You know, they have similar artwork everyone once in a while at Park Place Mall where anyone can go and use their artist abilities for viewers. Nothing like Mueller’s though!
I have never had the opportunity to see any of Edgar Mueller’s works and they are absolutely amazing! His works look so realistic its amazing! I love that you already knew so much about him before you were given the assignment and I can definitely understand why he is your favorite artist (other than your brother). The 3D effects are amazing! I really liked the way you had it set up, with the pictures of the works and then the date and place for when and where each one was done. Great job Jenny!
I always found this type of art to be extremely beautiful and interesting. It is just crazy how on a 2D plane you can draw, paint something that is 3D and make it look so realistic. I loved all the pictures that you chose, but my personal favorite would have to be caves that seem to be melting away, it is just so powerful and mind blowing. You did an awesome job in choosing this topic and made it very interesting. Great Job!
Jenny,
Your project was amazing, I knew a little about this type of street art but you showd me more than I thought existed. Edgar Mueller is someone I never had heard of but you did a great job showing off his work. I understand that your nervous in fromt of people but your presentation was a little quick. Thanks to you (and Professor K) I am going to keep an eye out for more street art such as the 3D drawings and yarn bombings.
