Join the Visual Art League of Lewisville for its monthly general meeting at Lewisville Grand Theater. Each month in conjunction with the general meeting, VAL produces an “Art Talk” series of known speakers and art demonstrations that are free and open to the public.
Join us for an engaging evening with Tina Ngo who will be talking about her journey as a tape artist in North Texas as well as demonstrating her unique materials and techniques. Meeting attendees will get to participate in this unique process as well. She will bring artwork to view up close along with tape art kits for purchase.
Ngo is a Dallas-based tape artist who transforms small pieces of tape into bold lines and layered textures, creating depth, movement, and perspective. A first-generation Vietnamese American, she was born and raised in Texas by immigrant parents who fled war, becoming a professional artist really wasn’t an option growing up.
Influenced by street car culture in the 90s, Tina works with custom automotive detailing tape, a material traditionally used for vehicle striping. Up close, her work reveals meticulous layers and precision; from a distance, an image emerges. For her, taping is creating structure within chaos, ultimately creating her own lines.
