Student artist Takashi Masubuchi creates “drip” with just styrofoam and petroleum- based paint products. Artist climbs up onto a gigantic cube of Styrofoam, slowly and carefully dispensing drips of black paint onto the surface. The acidic paint ate away at the Styrofoam, creating organic forms that mimic the process of decomposition.

The idea of using chemical processes to create negative space art is an attractive concept. Not only were the results visually pleasing, the composition was also well-controlled and symmetrical.
