Art is supposed to challenge us. Challenge our beliefs, our prejudices, and even our concepts of what we believe to be possible. Sculptures are an excellent medium, as they allow the artist to play tricks on the eye and mess with the viewer’s logical concepts.
This collection of gravity-defying sculptures, compiled by A&D, do just that. Calling into question the laws of gravity and physics, they make you wonder, how the heck did they do that? This list has everything from incredible feats of balance on a grand scale to just plain head-scratching sorcery!
Please scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and prepare to be bamboozled by these gorgeous and gravity-defying sculptures. Don’t forget to upvote your faves! (H/T)
