Art We Love :: Aakash Nihalani – Boxing in India
Aakash Nihalani, a most definite artist + friend we love recently to a trip back to his Motherland of India. Thankfully while their he taped the town red, so to speak, by adding his unique fluorescent geometric flair to the urban landscapes of New Delhi and Mumbai. Happy to see his art and ideas expanding further and further each time we check in. Great job Aakash!
Art We Love :: Buff Diss
When you think of street art, spray paint and graffiti spring to mind—but innovative Melbourne-based artist, Buff Diss, free-hands all his work using masking tape only. It’s hard to imagine using a household item like tape as a medium, but Buff Diss makes it look easy, and beautiful. He recently stranded himself in Europe and has been peeling and posting non-stop. Buff’s work can be seen in Paris, Barcelona, Jerusalem.

Artists We Love :: Aakash Nihalani
Have you ever wondered who is behind the fluorescent cubes on the sidewalk that make you stop, smile or simply engage you from whatever you’re doing for that split second? Those moments of presence are brought to you by Aakash Nihalani who is not only responsible for these ephemeral sticky pieces but also for his paintings, drawings, etched glass work and now an interactive site Magkinetic Drawings. When he sent me the link, I was transfixed. I played with shapes and found the whole experience entertaining and relaxing. Great way to take a little break.
