These are mixed-media collages created by a street artist named WK Interact. They are excellent examples of implied motion because they capture action and movement. The elements of texture and dimension in these pieces imply motion. For example, the streaks and blurs give the illusion of movement, even though the paintings are static in reality. This is key because according to Dondis, "the illusion of texture or dimension appears real through the use of intense expression of detail...." (p.64.) The artists uses specific details in the images that mimic how movement appears in real life. In addition, WK Interact also made his subjects look off-balance (stress), making it seem as though the person in his painting has just thrown a punch (figure 1) or dribbled a ball to make a shot (figure 3.) There is also flow and the illusion of fluidity.
