This last weekend was the Denver Chalk Arts Festival. This is an annual event that I last attended in 2019. This year, the chalk art was located very close to the the Art Museum. The art works are applied to the asphalt pavement on the streets. Art work disappears after a few days of vehicle traffic and some rain. Most of the art work is “flat”, as can be seen with the squirrels; Meininger are one of the local art stores and sponsor the artist for the image below.
This year, I noticed a lot more “3-D” work being displayed. In this image, Nareen Schroder created a 3-D work for Denver Art Museum.
Here is another 3-D work of Hungry Hippos.
Visitors are encouraged to sit on the Hippo. In this image, I captured a visitor sitting on one of the Hippos. This enhances the 3-D illusion on the flat pavement.
This fire breathing dragon is another 3-D piece that I found.
I always like to capture some images that include the artist while creating the art work. The young girl was a bystander that I included in this image.
Here is another art work “Kroger Burger” that is almost 3-D. This is surrounded by the two “flat” works on either side.
There were several street vendors that offered food and beverages to the visitors. One booth was selling pineapple juice to visitors. Behind the rear of the booth, I found boxes of pineapples (the supplies for the vendor).
Here is another fun art work that I titled “Manhole Cover Chaos”.
I was amused to find a monkey in Residence for Cirque Du Soleil, in the image below. This is another 3-D work. The young child in the background seems to be enjoying his popsicle!
That’s all for now. More to come.
