Trompe L’oeil




Doctorow, Corey. Photo of Garden in San Francisco. http://boingboing.net/2009/11/20/trompe-loeil-back-ga.html.2009

This is an example of Trompe L'oeil or “To fool the eye.”  This is achieved by the way the artist renders the square patterns in a fashion to play with the eye and seem as though it runs down into the drain even though it is on two perpendicular surfaces the wall and the ground.
