It may look as though a rainforest has appeared on London's Embankment -
but this is just an illusion created by renowned street artist Kurt Wenner.

The former NASA space illustrator turned street artist has drawn Spiderman
swinging from the buildings in Japan and a scene from adventure horror film
The Mummy in Waterloo station. <goog_1558196300>
And now hundreds of drawings from Wenner's 25-year career have been
published in a new book 'Asphalt Renaissance'. <goog_1558196300>

Wenner invented a new geometry that creates compositions that appear to
rise from or fall into the ground.
<goog_1558196300>
Using his homemade pastels, he can take up to seven days to complete his
intricately detailed large-scale drawings, sometimes longer depending on
the weather. <goog_1558196300>
Wenner's innovative style draws on religion and classical mythology.
<goog_1558196300>
Wenner began his career in Rome, inspired by the city's centuries-old
tradition of street art. <goog_1558196300>
Wenner explains: 'The pieces look real because they are calculated to be
perfectly and mathematically accurate.'
