On ne collera plus jamais un colis de la même façon

Je ne pensais pas dire ça un jour, mais oui, on peut faire de l’art avec cet horrible ruban adhésif brun qui nous sert à emballer les colis. Regardez plutôt les oeuvres de l’artiste Mark Khaisman :

Quelques mots de l’artiste à propos de son travail :
My works are large archetypal representational images, made from layer upon layer of translucent packing tape, applied to clear Plexiglas and placed in front of a light box to give the image shadow and depth. I see my tape art as a form of painting. The 2-inch tape acts as a wide brush, and the light behind the panels as an alchemist’s luminous blending medium. In working with tape, like in painting, accident and control are always present.

My Tape Art is a conversation with light. I started it like a traditional stained glass artist, but with tape: I found I could continue my conversation with light, but in a more expedient manner. I might have never thought of this “medium” if not for my working in stained glass. Yet, tapes happened to be much more than just a replacement of the stained glass medium. It miraculously bonded together all my previous experiences.
