3 Ellipses for 3 Locks

Between 11 and 25 March, Swiss artist Felice Varini recently created one of those fancy anamorphic illusions where the finished piece can only be seen by standing at a single point. It was commissioned by arts agency CBAT for the Cardiff Harbour Authority and cost $50,000. A series of three yellow ellipses have been painted onto the working locks, gates and even the outer sea wall to create a piece that took a year to plan. It’s called 3 ellipses for 3 locks and can be seen at Cardiff Bay.
