Here is an anomalous motion/distorted perception illusion.
The apparent motion induced by the blue spots seems to cause the red lines to bend and wave. If the whole image is in motion how could red lines not be bending with the motion?
These types of motion images confuse the eye and brain. This confusion allows the viewer to perceive motion in a static image. That's right the below image is a static image and is not animated in any way.
Herman has an excellent collection of Pop art, Paintings, and Optical illusions. He has given me permission to feature his pieces here. This is just one of many. His illusion art ranges from color perception to distorted illusions.
Thank You for sharing these excellent illusions Herman.

Here is an optical illusion created by Herman J. Verwaal from his deformation series
Herman points out the red strips appear to be deformed where they cross the fluorescent lights. I agree the red strips seem to narrow as they cross the lights. Even more fascinating to me is that the red strips seem darker where they cross the lights. Yes the red strips only seem darker.
The fact is that the red strips have a red green blue measurement of R:246, G:4, B:0. No matter where in the strip you measure the color is constant. I find this fascinating because the red in each strip, where it crosses the light, appears to darken.

The bottom line is that the red strips above are perfectly straight and the shade of red does not change at any point in this image.

Anomalous motion optical illusions is the main reason for the warning at the top of this page. Many folks who pass by this site pass over the warning without thought, thinking that it is some sort of gimmick. However if you are prone to seizures please read the warning above before proceeding further.
Herman anomalous motion images confuse the eye and brain. This confusion allows the viewer to perceive motion in a static image. It is true the below image is a static image and is not moving.

Here is another anomalous motion optical illusion created by Herman J. Verwaal.
Herman is a rare illusion artist in that each of his images not only confuse the eye and brain, but are unique works of art that can stand apart from the illusion world.
Herman has a large collection of Pop Art, Paintings, and Optical illusions that he has created over time. He has generously allowed me to feature a few of his pieces here. This is just one of many. He has created a wide range of Trick-Art from impossible construction to anomalous motion and hopefully Herman will allow me to show some more of his wonderful art.
Thank You for sharing these excellent illusions Herman.

This image appears at first and second glance to be tilted to the right.
The truth is though that the gate is perfectly straight up and down and all rows are perfectly horizontal.
To prove this step back from the monitor and the illusion slowly starts to fade.

The effect of rotating balls is well done in this image.
