19 mind-bending levitating sculptures that will fool even the most seasoned art critic.

The arts have many wonderful tricks up their sleeve. Art is not just what meets the eye. It has the ability to not only stir our emotions but also to test our assumptions and worldviews. Art has opened up a lot of doors that would have been closed otherwise.

The various forms of expression used to express creative ideas constitute art. Sculptures are among the top art forms. Because of this, we’ve decided to feature a selection of sculptures that defy conventional understandings of gravity. You’d have to ponder the reasoning behind these for a while.
