Connections between artists from different fields can bloom in projects like the one born of the collaboration between British rock band Skunk Anansie and the Tape Artist NO Curves.
Tape Art is a form of art that uses adhesive tape to create actual paintings. Skunk Anansie asked No Curves to create the cover of their new album entitled Anarchytecture, and the artist was capable of straightening out and channelling in a geometric rigour the disorder that characterises the rock band’s soul.
No Curves was founded on the concept of the visible spectrum, or the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that includes the colours perceptible to the human eye.
The four musicians enter this hypothetical triangular door and exit transfigured into broken lines that range in hue from infrared to ultraviolet. The frontwoman, Skin, assumes the most royal colour of all: purple.
