Ruben Carpathian #TAG

The digital and social world

Ruben Carpathian introducing himself on the street under the nickname #TAG.
He was born in Armenia, moved to Moscow and from there he immigrated to Israel.

His graffiti artwork comes from an existing and famous artwork on which he manipulates design, adds a gold frame, sends to print and pastes on the street.

Ruben Carpathian’s graffiti artwork relatively large and aims to create contemporary-technological dialogue with the viewer. Many of them interact with the digital and social worlds (selfies, likes, mobiles).

About Me

My name is Dror Hadadi and I have always loved and been drawn to graffiti and street art – to language, color, subversion and art. Urban art, which exists in public space 24/7, fascinates and captivates my heart.

Graffiti and street art are a free ticket to a global exhibition, which is constantly changing, growing and developing. Graffiti creates and drives an artistic dialogue between the passerby and architecture and urban life. Sometimes graffiti disrupts, harms and etch its presence on the wall. Sometimes it brings the public wall to life, allowing us a colorful and exciting glimpse into the artist’s private world – and into our own world as viewers. In both cases, in graffiti and street art, an immediate communication and dialogue is created between the viewer and the message left for him on the wall. Graffiti and street art that takes place in the urban-public space, maintains a dialogue with us on a daily basis, and allows us to communicate with the space closest to us, which serves as a setting for our living environment and life in the urban space.

Enjoy!
