If I said that “cuprocking” has become the newest street trend du jour, would you have even the slightest clue what I’m referring to? Sydney-based artist Andy Uprock gave birth to this new type of art, which is simple yet ingenious. Using a wire fence as his canvas, he strategically places plastic cups into holes to create various patterns and shapes. His idea began when he was a child as he noticed other children would often squash their bottles and rubbish into the fence. All his installations are temporary and he reuses his cups for each art work. What is also interesting about his work is that he has learned to create his work from braille. Uprock has begun a 40 day world tour to showcase his work visiting Barcelona, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and many more. The beauty of it is that any one can rock this style, with little financial outlay or worry of prosecution that typically faces graffiti artists.
