ABOUT TAP | arting it up across platforms

The Art Playground aka TAP is the creative studio of artist and writer Danielle 'DMo' Oke, expressing her multifaceted artistic practice, and her approach to life. The main purpose of TAP is to share art and experiences around the world, across diverse platforms that highlight, explore, engage and celebrate the creative influence we all have on life.

DMo's artistic and literary practice focuses on developing, producing and releasing creative works in art, film, music and other creative streams. These works generally explore subrealist themes, where she taps into inner spaces and reveals what's found below the surface through scripts, songs, original artworks and art happenings. TAP also releases designs inspired by all the creative streams for its art merch line.

"The Art Playground is both the space and the way in which we creatively interact with life. It represents possibility and transformation, responsibility and risk, the hidden spark inside everyone and its revealing to create a better day for all."  DMo

DMo believes the below-the-surface stuff is what guides and determines our surface level realities, and the work she creates aims to share these extra layers within their stories. This often unravels topics of voice, identity, sexuality and communion, linking back to the importance of our inner technologies i.e. our capacity to think, feel, connect. Also integral to her practice is research in the creative process itself, including its inherent living presence as what we call life.

All these artistic explorations overlap and blend with her approach to and experience of life as a living art playground, where all her encounters, happenings and interactions play their part in creating her life.

​TAP always celebrates amazing projects and welcomes compelling ideas, so if you have a creative production you’d like coloured by DMo’s signature seal, please get in touch.
