As much as I love it, I wouldn't be able to have it. Staring at that thing on the wall all day and your eyes starting bleeding.

These days it seems it's not "art" until it's epoxied.

In this case it's for the sense of depth, so valid

I would think it also makes sure the layers of tape can't peel off the previous layers of paint.

Quite tricky to get nice clean paint lines on canvas with masking tape.

No annoying music. +1 for satisfying creativity sounds

At first I was like 'jesus that's a lot of effort' but then I saw the finished product. Would 100 percent pay for this. Amazing.

Just what I've always wanted in my furniture. The ability to induce a seizure.

Just say no to epoxy. There’s other ways to seal paint that doesn’t create plastic waste and don’t come with literally all the cancer warnings

♪♫ When a grid's misaligned, with another behind, that's a moire! When the spacing is tight and the difference is slight, that's a moire! ♪♫ https://xkcd.com/1814/

That spot in the center with the short stripe next to a long stripe.

I looked at it for an hour. No sailboat, no spaceship… nothing

No no no— it’s one of those where if you turn it at an angle it shows the image moving as it shifts…

It reminds me a LOT of Carlos Cruz-Diez. This is his Cromointerferencia Espacial 13

Though the best ones are the "3d" ones where your movement produces a kinetic visual response

José Soto made more of those

That looks like the inspiration for VHS box covers from the 90s

moire... Now, that's a word I haven't heard in a long time... A long time.

Used to see moire type screensavers back in 1990s.

They never show how he gets the tape to lay curved without breaks or folds.... or maybe he does use folds or cutouts.

1 year ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Gentle curves like that are possible with narrow stripes of tape.

1 year ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Still how he gets those curves so perfect has got to be like a trade secret for him.

Skill and practice. While I don't think I would get one for my wall, I do admire the talent it takes to make.

Particularly if the tape is slightly stretchy.

It looks cool but hurts my eyes for some reason. I'd get it for my brother or something.

If you unfocused your eyes just right, you can see a sailboat.

screen door effect, but since it hurts how about not googling that?

1 year ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

I cannot speak for the person that you replied to; for me the screen-door effect doesn't hurt my eyes, but finished artwork posted by OP does.
