Julian Beever is an English, Belgium-based chalk artist who has been creating trompe-l'ceil chalk drawings on pavement surfaces since the mid-1990's. His works are created using a projection called anamorphosis, and create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle.


Beever works as a freelance artist and creates murals for companies. He has worked in the UK, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Spain, the U.S., Australia, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.

Besides this pavement art, Beever also paints murals with acrylic paints and replicas of the works of masters and oil paintings, and creates collages. Amongst his other work are wood panelled drawings, usually themed around music, measuring 7 metres long by 1.5 metres high.
