What exactly is tape art?

In short, tape art is a form of art created using adhesive tape. It can be classified as a subset of urban art and also serves as an alternative to graffiti art. Instead of spraying, artists use adhesive tape. There are now even types of adhesive tape developed specifically for tape art. Unlike graffiti, these can usually be removed without leaving any residue, which makes them particularly appealing.

Both graffiti and tape art can be found in urban public or semi-public spaces. However, tape art in particular has now established itself as a design concept in apartments and homes as well. Instead of large wallpaper or pictures on the wall, people often turn to adhesive tapes. You can either follow instructions to recreate a specific design or let your creativity run wild and create a completely unique piece of tape art.
