Tattoo Art Today
Each artist has been commissioned to create a completely new work for the
exhibition on the theme of Time, working with any medium and on any canvas apart
from their usual surface of skin.
The resulting collection ranges from oil painting, watercolours and
traditional Japanese silk painting to paint layering on real skulls, airbrush
and bronze sculpture.
Time and all it infers (such as life and death) is a classic, common motif in
tattoo art, expressed through a vast variety of iconographic combinations. For
example, the popular inkings of butterflies, blossoms and the handled cross
signify life, while Memento Mori works such as skulls or the goddess Kali denote
death. Many of these symbols are also present in the original pieces displayed.
The catalogue is published by Tattoo Life Production.
Curated by Miki Vialetto and Claudia de Sabe.
