If only real emergency exit signs were this exciting. If you saw that even the little green exit guy was sprinting out of his frame, you’d know it was time to get moving.

But this is no trick art, nor will visitors to galleries be required to don a pair of 3D glasses to achieve the visual effect; what we have here is the real deal.

This is the work of Yuki Matsueda, a Japanese artist born in Ibaraki Prefecture, who is currently receiving critical acclaim all over Asia.

The 32-year-old artist graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts in 2010 with a PhD in design and began producing his dimension-defying works soon after. As well as receiving high praise in Japan, Matsueda’s work has also been exhibited in Korea and the U.S., with art and design fans tweeting, blogging and Facebooking images of his eye-popping creations on a seemingly daily basis.

Matsueda has received numerous prizes for his exciting three-dimensional art, including the 2009 Nippon Paint Design Center Award, and is fast becoming a household name. Japanese netizens, some of whom were lucky enough to catch the exhibit at the Tokyo University of Fine Art, echoed our own sentiments online, with some saying how they “can’t look at this stuff without wanting to push it back into the frame,” or marvelling at the careful construction of the pieces.

The art is currently being exhibited in Seoul at the Interalia Gallery, and will be shown again at the Keumsan Gallery, also in Seoul, on Dec 5–30 this year.

Another term for this stuff is extruded acrylics. Yuki looks a bit like Kimura Takuya, which probably adds to his popularity.
