Across the world artists create truly outstanding pieces using a fantastically mundane material: tape.
Tape on walls, tape on objects, tape on people. Artists across the world create truly outstanding pieces using a fantastically mundane material: tape. Originating in Providence, Rhode Island, tape art has become a genre all its own. It began as a clash between graffiti and traditional public art, and has since created a special place for itself as a temporary medium with a lasting impression.
Here is a collection of tape art for you to enjoy. This striking art form can be found in cities around the world, including Stockholm, New York and Berlin.
To see more check out the Tape Art album.
