Magical sculpture by Francis Tabary

The French artist and 1991 world magic champion (!) Francis Tabary has crafted a magical sculpture that simultaneously forms the icons of the Jewish and Christian faiths: the Star of David and the cross. The untitled artwork — which uses a mirror to show the metal cross from an angle at which it forms a perfect six-pointed star — is the latest in the artist’s “Impossible Sculptures” series, which had previously featured the image of the Star of David, and consists of works that hybridize of the Op art abstraction of Victor Vasarely and the visual illusions of M.C. Escher. [link]
