Max Zorn. A tape artist.

Everyday we bump against new expressions of art, some of them good some not that much. Max Zorn, and street artist based in Amsterdam is one of those artist you would love to bump against with, he uses brown tape and light as art materials. From portraits to boxing guys, the use of shadows and how this shadows create some kind of classic vintage looks on his work, is what gives to this artist and his elements such and exceptional style becoming Zorn an awesome creator. Here is how he explains the project:

"The idea to work with tape instead of paint was inspired by a friend who worked as a car designer at that time. These guys often use slim tapes to outline their ideas on large boards. I was surprised to see, how fast they could create stunning sketches with it. During the last years that kind of tape-art also conquered the streets as a new form of urban art. However, it is widely practised by using colored tape on walls or streets.

The idea to use light as a medium was born during a nightly run through Amterdam. The nice old street lamps with their golden light seemed perfect to be used as an open gallery for the first test of my modified tape-art.
The installation was very simple by just clamping the taped glass onto street lamps and once the light illuminates the many layers of tape, it creates a very graphic picture that seems to be self-glowing.

All that is needed are flexible Plexi-glass, some brown translucent tape and a cutter. The rest is taping, cutting, taping, cutting…"
