Duct-Taped Film Posters

Vince Ricottilli's Recreates Iconic Film Posters as Duct Tape Artwork

— July 30, 2013 — Art & Design
Vince Ricottilli's duct tape artwork is an absolutely stunning way to use the iconic adhesive. Ricottilli uses duct tape to recreate numerous popular film posters; there are no markers, no pencils, nothing but the three monochromatic shades that duct tape comes in.

Ricottilli will first find the pictures on the Internet that he likes and if it isn't already in black and white, he'll grayscale it so he has a base to work off of. Ricottilli speaks of the process on his site: "Then I put down three layers of duct tape (black, white and gray) on some cardboard and use a xacto knife to trace the picture. Depending on the picture it takes me about 7-10 hours per piece, but I rarely do it all in one sitting." To be able to do this type of duct tape artwork, Ricottilli would not only need to have an incredibly creative mind, but also the ability to accurately visualize the process with each of the three layers.
Trend Themes
1. Duct Tape Artwork - Creating artwork using duct tape as the medium presents an innovative and unique form of artistic expression.
2. Digital Transformation of Traditional Art - Using digital platforms to find and convert images into duct tape artwork showcases the integration of technology in traditional art forms.
3. Monochromatic Art - The use of only three shades of duct tape (black, white, and gray) in creating artwork highlights the trend of minimalistic and monochromatic art forms.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - The art and design industry can explore opportunities in promoting and supporting duct tape artwork as a new and innovative art form.
2. Digital Technology - Digital technology companies can develop tools or platforms that facilitate the conversion of digital images into duct tape artwork, bridging the gap between traditional and digital art forms.
3. Craft and Hobby - The craft and hobby industry can capitalize on the popularity of duct tape artwork by providing materials and resources for enthusiasts to create their own duct tape masterpieces.
