Aakash Nihalani
We love the work of New York based artist Aakash Nihalani, who creates trompe l’oeil 3-D boxes using tape on sidewalks and public surfaces - working predominately with isometric rectangles and squares. He creates these installations in daylight and makes videos of the process, relatively untroubled, due to the fact that his artwork is easily pealed off unlike spray paint. With his work he hopes to “highlight the unexpected contours and elegant geometery of the city itself” and “give people a chance to step into a different New York than they are used to seeing”.
