Statement

The artistic counter cultures of tattoo and graffiti art embody bold impetuous attitudes rooted in controversy and rebellion. Whether met with affirmation or rejection, the viewer is an inescapable victim to its presence challenging the very structure of social interaction and public space. Despite the unruly exterior, the art itself is impermanent and ephemeral, existing within a frame of time. By creating a solid three-dimensional reality the art reinvents itself given physical permanence. Style and attitude remain unaltered placing emphasis on artist merit.
