Flesh to Canvas
Opening reception: Saturday, June 13th, 7-11pm
On display: June 13th - July 19th, 2009
We are proud to announce a special group exhibition, entitled "Flesh to
Canvas", specifically made up of tattoo artists who create works aside
from ink on skin. Those who work inside the tattoo world realize how
much artistic talent exists here. To the general public, however, much
of this tattoo world remains a dark mystery. Therefore, we have created
a show comprised of paintings by tattoo artists to help bring attention
to these important and extremely relevant creators. This show will be
an annual event, as we feel it is an integral part of why Last Rites
Gallery was created. Therefore, we give you "Flesh to Canvas", a
collection of fine art by a renowned group of tattoo artists.
Participating
artists include: Daniel Albrigo, Shawn Barber, Nick Baxter, Aaron Bell,
Paul Booth, Boris, George Campise, Joe Capobianco, Jon Clue, Damon
Conklin, Chris Dingwell, Alex Garcia, Jeff Gogue, Tim Harris, Dana Helmuth, Phil Holt,
Timothy Hoyer, Nikko Hurtado, Filip Leu, Little Dragon, Eric Merrill, Brian
Murphy, Marcus Pacheco, Leslie Reesen, Julio Rodriguez, Kim Saigh,
Toxyc, Stefano, Tom Strom, Amanda Wachob, Phil Young and more.
We hope you will join us for the opening of "Flesh to Canvas", Saturday, June 13th from 7-11pm. Should be an incredible event!
