New York-based Aakash Nihalani contributed this illusionistic geometric tape-based intervention to Nuart in 2012. Born in 1986 in Queens and based in Brooklyn, he received his BFA from Steinhardt School in New York. Nihalani uses bright, bold lines to create 3D images on two-dimensional surfaces. By repeating isometric squares and rectangles, the artist creates a visual illusion that engages with public space, perspective and perception. Celebrated for his transient modifications of the urban landscape, the tape specialist wields an abstract narrative of isometric shapes and vivid hues grounded in quiet irony and idiosyncratic precision.
