Amazing 3D Street Art

German artist Edgar Mueller creates large scale, three-dimensional art using an unusual canvas -- his works are painted on ordinary sections of sidewalks and streets.

Watch as this plaza in Moscow is transformed into a scenic cliff.


The finished work, 'Duality.' Mueller's dramatic art is designed to engage passerby and bring them into the new scenery.

This patch of concrete in Ireland will soon become a breathtaking natural wonder.

Another cave invades a busy London corridor.
