SUPERGRAPHICS
The term supergraphics was established in the 1960's. Supergraphics are huge arrays of images on walls, buildings, or large objects. They are designed to make a point by confusing the eye. They create something that stands out so strongly in size, color, and/or angles. It can be known as "Gigantic graphic art". They can make permanent art forms in buildings such as floors, walls, and ceilings.
Not all supergraphics are made for use in gigantic objects or architecture. This painting for example, it was made by WierdAlbatross called "Duality". It may be traditional art and very surreal, but he expresses on a multicultural city, wonders of technology, animals dying out, and a tall, thin and beautiful and cocaine addicted city woman.

This is an example of a supergraphic. An effective use of wall space for advertising, this one's a little scary though.

This picture shows the very elements supergraphics represent. It contains vibrant colors mixed with the geometric shapes to give the illusion that the room is bigger than it actually is. Supergraphics are designed to usually be put onto walls, ceilings, and floors to create this element of a cavernous room.
