Cheers To Andy Uprock’s Cup Art

cup-art-galler1.jpg
What do you get when you mix one artist, a fence, and thousands of cups? Some amazing shit, apparently. While walls are the standard medium for most street artists, Andy Uprock uses fences as his canvas, where he places a series of spray painted cups to create his geometric-shaped pieces. The result, a temporary graffiti project with the easiest cleanup possible'recycling.

Since pioneering the trend that he calls “cuprocking,” the Australian native is leaving his mark in cities from Barcelona to New York on a world tour that would make Banksy blush. Also, for the first time, Uprock’s work speaks to the blind through a special braile pattern he makes in some of his pieces. See more examples of cuprocking, and watch a video interview with Andy below.
