Tainan uses art as an intervention on urban landscape around his neighborhood such as painting on walls, barricades, flowerbeds, energy boxes, and more. “Dubism is the synthesis of what art is for me. Just as a dub is born from a song, a work is born in the process of remixing the real image into something idealized. Transmuting reality with visual effects.
