24 Gravity-Defying Sculptures That Will Make You Look Twice
Art is supposed to challenge us. Challenge our beliefs, our prejudices and even our concepts of what we believe to be possible.
Sculptures are a great medium for this, as they allow the artist to play tricks on the eye and mess with the viewer’s concepts of logic. This collection of sculptures, compiled by Bored Panda, do just that. Calling into question the laws of gravity and physics they make you wonder, how the heck did they do that? From incredible feats of balance on a grand scale, to just plain head-scratching sorcery, this list has it all!
Scroll down to below to check them out for yourself, and prepare to be bamboozled by these gorgeous and gravity defying pieces. Don’t forget to upvote your faves!

I enjoyed this post tremendously. I would love to see more posts like these on BP! 'The Force of Nature' took my breath away.
Art should inspire imagination & challenge perception. These do that creatively & beautifully.
Before watching the list I was kinda like: "Well, common...I'm not really easy to be impressed, these are probably going to be just alright." What a foolish girl I was! :O All of these totally mess with my mind.
