Although Aakash Nihalani is not an artist that we discussed in class, I wanted to include him in my blog. Aakash's art is very modern and interesting, bringing a new form of pop art to us. The medium that he chooses to use for most of his art work is tape. He uses the brightly colored tape on buildings in New York City and Brooklyn. All of his pieces are cubes placed together to form other shapes, creating an optical illusion-like piece. In his biography on his website, he claims that he doesn't ever really plan what he's going to do, he just creates his designs on the spot. His website is http://www.aakashnihalani.com/. On the website there are tons of pictures of pieces that he has created for both street art and gallery art. My favorite piece doesn't have a title, but it's one of his gallery pieces. It is pictured in this blog post. I think that Aakash is very talented because he has basically created a whole new art form on his own. His use of bright colors and his creative ideas really make him stand out in the art world.
