Exhibit:
This exhibition explores the influence that Edo period Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, themes and icons have had on the modern tattoo movement. Historical images that have played a major role in the formation of a tattoo aesthetic which is now truly global--stretching from Japan to America--will be highlighted alongside works on paper by five leading contemporary tattoo artists:

Don Ed Hardy, undisputed American Tattoo Master, painter, printmaker, scholar, writer, curator and editor. Chris Trevino, tattooist from Austin Texas, who is pushing the boundaries of the Japanese tattoo with his work in America and Japan. One of the top tattooists working today. Takahiro Kitamura, known by his tattoo name of Horitaka, continues in the tradition of Hardy by writing many scholarly books on the themes if tattooing while running his own shop in San Jose, California. Horiyoshi III from Yokohama, one of the top Japanese Tattoo Masters, known throughout the world for his traditional and bold designs. Horitomo, also from Yokohama, Horiyoshi’s apprentice and a rising star on the scene.
