Tricky perspective

Patrick Hughes is born in 1939 and does very good op art. Hughes style is dubbed “reverspective”; his paintings stick out from the wall in 3D style, but ironically, the point which is nearest you can actually seem furthest away. This is wonderfully demonstrated in many of his scenes, which threatens to punch you in the face if you step too close. Finding his style somewhat of a hybrid between Georgio de Chirico
and Dali's perspective where perspective is distorted in a way that it makes you uneasy.
Anyway this is a little clip of what happens in front of his work....
