What makes abstract art stand out?
There are many reasons why abstract art stands out from the rest, but we’ll just mention a few here.
- It’s all about the art. Creativity and its products have nothing to do with reality – they’re a product of our brain, feelings, emotions and others. Abstractionism helps artists to express their personality in its nature. Sometimes it can be absurd, impossible, unrecognizable and ethereal. Abstract art makes it easier for artists to represent their ideas as they are.
- Emphasis on visual elements. It’s more profound than other art forms. The key elements aren’t objects, but colors, lines, shapes, and textures. They’re interrelated and create a composition in various ways: dynamic, statiс, emotional, provocative, etc.
- Psychological aspect. Abstract art invites people and their visual perception to guess a meaning or concept of art. The viewers bring their own experiences and perceptions to the artwork and feel themselves to be a co-artist.
– Do you use abstraction in your work?
– Absolutely.
Abstract wall painting with tape is an art movement that rejects the realistic representation of objects and phenomena. Its followers experiment with shapes, colors, surfaces and lines. The main goal of the artists is to arouse emotions with their creations. This is what we do.
What are the basics of abstract painting with tapes?
Abstract painting with tapes is based on six essential elements: Lines, textures, shapes, colors and meanings. Let’s consider some of them:
- Line. The character of line can be subtle, aggressive, lyrical or rhythmic. A work of art can consist of lines that transition from one type to another.
- Texture. This element influences the energy of the artwork.
- Shape. In composition, there are several possibilities for form. When it comes to abstract painting with masking tape, the important thing isn’t what shape or what it looks like, but what character and quality it should bring to your artwork.

FAQS
The popularity of tape art is growing steadily, not least because it has established itself as a good alternative to various other urban art styles. Artworks made of tape often look more spectacular than, for example, classical graffiti. Tape is also easier to handle and can be removed if necessary. We mainly use very common types of tape which are usually flexible and waterproof at the same time. They can be brought into shape with a few simple handles and are also available in an almost unparalleled variety of colors. Thus, various hue gradations can be implemented. The tapes remain colorfast even after processing. Apart from cutters and a few rolls of tape we usually do not need any other tools for creating our artworks. And it takes relatively little time to do it. We hardly produce any rubbish or waste.
No one thinks of becoming a tape artist from the outset. Before we began taping almost all of us (Selfmadecrew members) tried out fine arts with a brush or spray can. Until we finally discovered the right thing for us: rolls of adhesive tape. And we would take to tape like a duck to water! Colorful vs. transparent, matt vs. shiny, wide vs. slim, any variety with its own texture that inspires and fuels all of us. But we don’t allow ourselves to delve too much into theory. By going out to the streets and working there with tape, we receive instant feedback. We get people‘s reactions and emotions right away – something invaluable to us.
