CHRISTIAN WINKELMANN IS A CHIEF DESIGNER IN THE CAR INDUSTRY. HE HAS BEEN WORKING AT DESIGN CENTERS IN GERMANY AND CALIFORNIA, WHERE HE HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR SEVERAL PRODUCTION- AND SHOWCARS. CHRISTIAN STARTED MAKING TAPE ART IN 2011. BEING INSPIRED AT WORK, WHERE TAPE IS A COMMON TOOL TO HELP SHAPE CARS, HE THEN STARTED CREATING ART WITH THIS UNIQUE MATERIAL AND ITS GREAT CHARACTERISTICS AND POSSIBILITIES. HIS ARTWORK IS DESCRIBED BY SHARP LINES WITH DISTINCTIVE COLORS PUT ON SEVERAL LAYERS CREATING A THREE DIMENSIONAL PICTURE. HE INTENTS TO USE TAPE LIKE A BRUSH TO DRAW DYNAMIC LINES AND SHAPES. WHEN USING STRAIGHT LINES IN VARIOUS SIZES THE ARTPIECE GETS AN ARCHITECTUAL FEEL, CREATING TENSION WITH THEIR CHANGING DIRECTIONS AND EXPRESSIVE COLOR SETTINGS. SOLID BOARDS IN DIFFERENT COLORS ARE BUILDING THE BASE FOR HIS TAPES TO STICK AND TO KEEP THEIR TENSION. ALL ART PIECES ARE UNIQUE.

THE ART OF TAPE

HE SKILFULLY CREATES CLEAR AND EMOTIONAL LINES WITH THE RATHER RIGID TAPE.

TAPE CHALLENGES CHRISTIAN WINKELMANN TO CREATE THE PERFECT LINE. HE THRIVES FROM IT REFINING HIS LINES TO BECOME BOTH DYNAMIC AND FLUENT BUT ALSO SENSITIVE AND DELICATE AT THE SAME TIME.
.
.
THE ART OF TAPE
.
.
A LINE IN ITS PUREST FORM, REDUCED TO ITS ESSENTIAL. TAPE BECOMES CHRISTIANS EXPRESSION OF FREEDOM AND CREATIVITY WHEREAS AT WORK HE USES IT MORE AS A TOOL.
