Passing by British street artist Pref’s work, you might just see a carefully rendered array of colors and shapes. Maybe you’ll even be able to pick out the shapes of letters. But upon closer inspection, the genius of these pieces reveals itself when you realize that each painting contains an entire phrase all stacked up and layered into one clever composition.
Take a look at Pref’s art below and see if you can decipher the messages.

This one is also only three words, but each word is a bit longer, so they’re woven together more intricately.
Lost For Words

Rip It Up, Start Again
Tried Some Sh*t Out
