"Tattoo" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts
Media: Painting, Photography, Prints
Tattoo art has been clasped to the bosom of the art world precisely because of its intercession between the arenas of popular and high culture. When the imagery of the tattoo is isolated from the human canvas, or when the “tattooed” becomes the subject of art, the ink can become a distinct portrait of the subject, revealing histories, ethnicities, personality quirks, fetishes, addictions, conquests, allegiances, and tragedy. This show presents the tattoo and the tattooed within the realm of fine art, providing a vivid and expansive portrait of the culture of the tattoo.

Reviews
Was reminded to go see this show from an unexpected source: the Apartment Therapy blog I go to everyday.

It looks like there is also tattooed furniture, bottles of Jack Daniel, etc. in addition to straight-up photographs.
