Flesh to Canvas

June 13th through July 19th, 2009

Opening reception: Saturday, June 13th, 7-11pm

Last Rites Gallery, owned by world renowned tattoo artist Paul Booth, is 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 just how much artistic talent exists therein. To the general public, however, much of this world remains a mystery. Therefore, we have created a show comprised of paintings by tattoo artists to help bring attention to these very 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, Jason D’Aquino, 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.
