Massive Chalk Art
This year’s Florida’s Sarasota Chalk Festival had Kurt Wenner, a 3D chalk art inventor and famous for it, working on a gigantic street piece across the street with an entire team of artists. The theme of the festival this year was commemorating the historical Ringling Brothers Circus and its founding.
After the “Circus City, USA” festival theme, Kurt Wenner’s huge chalk installation is made up of 3 dimensional depictions of performers at a circus, classically adorned, as they march down a street/pavement, as if on a parade of their own. For the full three dimensional effect to be felt, the piece, that is sepia-toned, had to be viewed from 15.5 ft from above.
