Hello! I’m a visual artist, I create tape installations, murals, paintings, and digital art.

My two main focuses are illusion & emergence. Most of my art falls under the category of #opart

Site-specific installations by Los Angeles-based artist Darel Carey, 2010s, whose abstract tape compositions create geometric optical illusions.

Two white walls covered in black tape lines creating jagged and curving indentations, and reflected on the mirrored floor.

A white-walled gallery with high ceilings covered in black and red tape lines creating jagged and curving indentations across the walls and ceiling. A bearded man wearing a black tshirt and jeans is standing to the right of the room with arms crossed, looking upward.

A long white-walled hallway covered in black tape lines creating jagged and curving indentations across the walls and ceiling, with a yellow-lit floor leading to an open doorway emitting yellow light.

I began this painting before the fires in LA started, and finished it after. I made it for the Thinkspace Projects 20th anniversary show, and I meant it as a celebration of Los Angeles, where Thinkspace has carved out a home in the art world for an impressive 20 years, and where I have lived for 6.
