EXCLUSIVES

Black Tape Project 

Witness the electrifying body art of artist -- Joel Alvarez and his Black Tape Project. In this exclusive, The "King of Tape" provides a demonstration of his "fine artistry" with an exhibition of his acclaimed "Black Tape" artistry on beach fashionwear.

In his our words, ..."Although this art project started exclusively with black electrical tape I had begun to experiment with different techniques and new forms of adhesive tapes. I started working with reflective tape in 2014 but didn't release any of the images of this concept, feeling that people might still be more receptive to the original black tape.

​

Years later during a charity event in Haiti, I was able to work with former Miss Puerto Rico and use the gold tape in a tropical setting. I took a 15 sec cellphone video of her in the gold body tape and immediately posted it to our Facebook page. Within 3 days it had over 7 million views along with over 50k shares worldwide. My emails, DM's and phone blew up with requests for TV & radio interviews, articles in national news outlets as well as magazines. I was so shocked and remember asking myself,

...is this all because of tape art?"
