The Business of 4D Street Painting Art

2017 3D and Augmented Reality Street Art Murals by Anthony Cappetto of Art for After Hours

Happy 2018 Everyone!

With a new year underway, we look back at the 2017 3D and 4D pieces by internationally recognized artist Anthony Cappetto created around the US and around the world.

The art was fun to design, to create, and we look forward to more 3D art for our clients, returning and new.

 

 

New York Build:  Javits Center, NYC

Inspired by the iconic 'Lunch Atop a Skyscraper', we created the steel beam hovering over Manhattan at a Building Tradeshow.

 

'Collapsing Ramp' Garden Grove, CA: A 3D chalk art piece tying in augmented reality (4D) seen through an onsite monitor. We used digital models of robots and fluttering flags of our client to bring human interaction (me on bicycle), the 3D hand drawn chalk art, and the augmented reality animation.

Sunflowers and dragonflies in Battery Park, NYC:  A street art installation for an event for Battery Park City Parks in June.

'Freedom' Baltimore, MD:  A social and political statement made to address the current atmosphere in the US with the concept of butterflies escaping oppression in any of its forms in September.

'Betta Fish Kite' Crewe, England, United Kingdom:  Expressing the beauty and conceptuality of a fish kite hovering over the countryside at a festival in the UK last August. 

'A Puzzling Reality' Tizarte Event in Antwerp, Belgium:  A 3D street art piece using a purposely fading motif of a puzzle fading away to 'reality' and objects such as the sunflowers fading from higher resolution to simpler resolution. Our dragonflies were designed consistently at the same level across the piece to overlay/tie in the fadeaway concept.

' Refugee: Here but Not Here...':  A serious piece address the issue of refugee children throughout the world, although we focused on Syria, South Sudan, and Myanmar.  The child in an atmosphere of desolation enjoys a respite blowing bubbles (given to her by an aid worker) evanescent, temporal just as we feel for the child's plight but move on quickly - Here but Not Here...

LIC Beer Festival, Long Island City NYC:  A sunny Fall day brought us to create this entertaining design with pumpkins, pretzels, and of course - beer!

 

This was a fun year with the art experimenting with tying in animated augmented reality, conceptual ideas, sociopolitical messages, and interacting with our public in the US and abroad.  

 

A special thanks to Wendy Stum who assisted and collaborated with me on some of the pieces especially 'Freedom' and ' Refugee: Here but Not Here...'.

3D Pavement Art in Duluth, GA by Anthony Cappetto of Art for After Hours - May 2011

Recently, I (Anthony Cappetto)was able to share my 3D pavement art with the visitors to the Barefoot in the Park Arts Festival in Duluth, GA, from May 6th through May 8th, 2011.

This large scale 3D street painting measured approximately 16' by 30' in size and took me about 30 hours to complete.

The titled artwork 'Barefoot in the Park' shows beautiful scenery below with a majestic waterfall on the left side of the piece, a rock wall in the distance that I am upon, and a colorful cliff wall at the right.

I enjoy what I am able to do and to share my passion for 3D street painting (pavement) art with everyone.

 

 

 

 

 

Here I am (center, in black) with members of Barefoot in the Park positioned on the waterfall, the rock wall, and the cliff top.  a great conclusion to a fun weekend creating 3D pavement art!

Art for After Hours and I can bring 3D pavement art in nearly any size with appropriate concepts, complexity, and scope based on the number of artists, days to complete, and concepts desired with proper planning from client and art teams.  Contact Art for After Hours for more details, we look forward to hearing from you soon.

3D Street Painting Artists Anthony Cappetto and Michael Macaulay's interpretation of 'Through to the Pacific' by Currier & Ives in Springfield, MA

Michael Macaulay and I were interviewed on 'Mass Appeal', a local program at the NBC affiliate WWLP in Springfield, MA.  We were happy to share our excitement about our recent Art for After Hours 3D street painting, an interpretation of the Currier & Ives classic lithograph 'Through to the Pacific' (1870) which we created for the attendees of the Original Western Massachusetts Home and Garden Show, March 24th through March 27th, 2011.

Here is our finished 3D street painting (chalk)art from the event to see the detail and attention paid to the presentation of an important part of the American Experience:

 
At a size of 15 feet deep by 20 feet wide, our finished 3D street painting art took 3-1/2 days for us to do or about 70 hours worth of work between us.  Notice how the train appears to levitate outside the finished frame and sill on its path to the Pacific.
