The hypnotism that Daisuke Samejima‘s works manage to convey is incredible, because what creates it is a combination of factors ranging from the extraordinary attention to detail in the works, to movement but in particular the way he chooses to perform a true exercise in style with perspective.
The Japanese artist has a degree in oil painting and uses this technique to paint objects and silhouettes, particularly interesting is the series of spheres, which Daisuke Samejima uses as surfaces for perspective views the simple landscapes, glimpses of streets and train tracks.
On the artist’s Instagram account, one can observe the mesmerizing effect of these works, which envelop the viewer’s experience as if they were a 360-degree camera shot. Attention to detail and proportion is probably the most striking aspect of Samejima’s work, as well as the effect that leads the works to become, when displayed in museums, like a kind of hole in physical space, a portal that disrupts the rules of perception.
The combination of spherical motion and perspective alters the actual perception of the surface, making the sphere appear concave at some times and completely flat at others, as if we were really looking through a porthole at a real landscape.
