Since I started painting geometric shapes using masking tape I have always found the moment right before pulling the tape off very interesting. At first, it looks a bit uncontrolled and messy but with a closer look, you can already begin to see an organized structure among the chaos of the tape and paint. Because painting in the street (for obvious reasons) has to be a quick action, this moment where the paint and the tape\u00a0exist simultaneously\u00a0is always extremely short. The idea for this new series called \u201cOne Minute Before\u201d is to generate a collection of drawings based on the re-creation of this brief moment just before the tape is pulled off and the painting is revealed \u2013 a moment that, apart from myself, very few people have ever seen. All the drawings are based on real paintings that exist or have existed in the street, most of them painted illegally.<\/p>\n

The first three drawings of this series were created in Beijing in June 2013 using pencil, acrylic and watercolor on paper.<\/p>\n

This new series of work was presented to the public for the first time during the Wooster Collective 10th Anniversary Show<\/strong><\/em> at the Jonathan Levine Gallery<\/strong> in New York in August of 2013.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
