Octopus Anamorph / Truly Design

At the SAMO space for contemporary art in Italy, the inventive art collective Truly Design have transformed a simple concrete hanger into a B-Movie set, as a giant jungle green coloured octopus spreads it eight tentacles over pillars and the ceiling. They use the space provided to them in ingenious ways, as the dips and cracks of the hanger become places to create perspective illusions — via Illusion Magazine

Octopus tentacle sculpture / ArtAkimbo

This super-swell octopus tentacle wall art sculpture features a transparent aqua splash and a rusted porthole. Invite this critter into your home and observe how it wriggles its way through your wall and into your heart. The octopus arms are cast out of urethane resin in moulds from the original sculptures. They are polished and coloured with dyes and paint. The porthole is coated with iron and rusted, then sealed to keep the rust tidy. A hanger on back slips over a screw in the wall to mount. Protrudes about 22cm from the wall, porthole is about 11cm in diameter — via Etsy
