Richard Spinner, a Chicago Graphic Artist, is a pioneer of
the Graphic Tape Media. Dozens of his works have been
reproduced as silk screen prints for commercial distribution
and advertising. Unlike Agam, Vasarely and Litchensen,
who painted their lines using masking tape, Richard Spinner
has mastered the use of graphic tape to create illusion and
expression. His sculptor-like techniques, on a 2-dimensional
surface, give him more expressive freedom than the traditional
artist’s approach.
Original concepts can take up to a year before going into
print production. The artist’s signed and numbered pieces are
produced on archival paper as giclée prints. His new works
include original multi-level dynamic 2-dimensional graphic
tape art, using four layers of acrylic sheet and overlapping
graphic tape, creating subtle shadows and shifts in geometric
forms as the light source changes throughout the day or the
viewer passes by the piece. There has never been another
artist like Richard Spinner known anywhere.
