Cylindrical Anamorphosis

This type of anamorphic art involves using a cylindrical mirror in the middle of the art piece to display a completely different image through the reflection. I am curious to how the artist carries out creating the curvature required to produce the appropriate reflection in the cylindric mirror. The video displays several anamorphic illusions using the cylindrical mirror.



The cyclindric illusions below were drawn by István Orosz, a talented Hungarian artist. Although he specializes in many different forms of art, today I will only cover some of his cylindrical mirror works. Similar to numerous other works using anamorphosis, this art form unveils at a specific perspective.
