Each of Lee Wagstaff’s paintings hides something special, and his latest series are especially difficult to unravel.
The geometric shapes, lines, and grids in the images make it extremely difficult to extract any identifying features, but those with a higher IQ should be able to decipher the image.
A Current Biology study found that those with above-average IQs can naturally ignore less relevant details in an image and focus on certain shapes.
So can you discover what is hidden?
If you managed to realize that behind every image there is a woman, then you probably have a higher IQ.
Q, which stands for IQ, is a way of measuring a person’s intelligence and mental understanding.
An IQ test can determine exactly how smart someone is by using a series of mental exercises to measure their mental agility.
Most tests usually have two parts, verbal and performance, and cannot be faked because you have the ability to answer the questions or not.
However, some argue that IQ tests are not an accurate way to measure a person’s ability and that the test is “fundamentally flawed”.
Lee Wagstaff’s signature style involves hiding a woman behind each of his paintings.
Lee, who studies at Central St Martins, says of her work: “A recurring theme in my work is pattern, I am drawn to patterns that predict and perhaps challenge the cosmic order.
“When I make art, I think about whether it is still possible to make images and objects that embody the ideas of faith, beauty and truth.”
