Artworks drawn solely with straight lines and curves on walls, the ground, and various other locations around the city are all apparently created using only masking tape.
Buff Diss, an artist from Melbourne, Australia, came up with this unique technique by chance when he was trying to draw straight lines on the road with chalk and used tape as a backup. He felt like he was drawing on the street using a line drawing tool on his computer, and he was convinced that this was something different from other artists.
While he primarily uses the city as his canvas, he also likes to leave works in abandoned buildings and factories. "I find beauty in seeing once-operating factories cease their role, fall into disuse, and become playgrounds for artists," he says. In his own work, he places importance on developing two things: a relationship with space and a conversation with architecture. Originally from Australia, he briefly relocated his base of operations to Berlin. In recent years, he has traveled from Mongolia to China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Indonesia, expanding his horizons around the world. He currently resides in Melbourne, Australia, and has completed a studio in St. Kilda, where he grew up. Of all the countries he's visited, he says Taipei, China, was the most tolerant of tape art. "The city was hungry for new forms of art. I recommend Taipei to all artists," he says. On his official website, you can see works from his past projects and short videos of the actual production process. Buff Diss seems to have a favorable impression of Asia, so perhaps one day they'll expand their projects to Japan?
