Tape music

Oil painting on canvas " Tape music" Year 2019, Dimensions 50x70 cm, Bucharest, Romania

In my recent artwork, I've created a sketch of an audio cassette on canvas, paying homage to the timeless tunes and the nostalgic memories associated with this iconic symbol of music from a bygone era. The simplicity of the sketch captures the essence of the audio cassette, showcasing its distinctive design and evoking a sense of longing for the days when music was a tangible and cherished possession.

The monochromatic palette and clean lines of the sketch emphasize the elegant form of the cassette, allowing the viewer to focus on the object itself and the memories it represents. The choice to create this piece on canvas adds an element of texture and depth, bridging the gap between the traditional art medium and the subject matter inspired by a different time.

"Tape music" is a celebration of music and the role it plays in our lives, reminding us of the powerful emotions and memories that can be triggered by the simple sight of an audio cassette. Through this minimalist approach, I invite the viewer to take a trip down memory lane and to revel in the feelings of joy, love, and nostalgia that come from revisiting the cherished tunes of the past.
