You’re tagged!

It can be on skin or on paper. but above all the places its in the time caught and stopped.it’s in the artist’s way of wiew and in the models’s perception. in her new exhibition the dutch mademoiselle of tatoo, Angelique Houtkamp dare you to be the inspirational model ot contemporary art world. Visit Galeria Mondo Bizzarro.

Her work is deceptively simple, instantly recognizable and often humorous. Classic old school tattoo imagery mixed with mythological dreams, antropomorphed critters, nautical iconography and haunting Hollywood romance by way of Angelique’s distinctive painterly magic and eye for style. This is her nostalgic, eclectic and beautifully rendered artistic wonderland.

Sunny Buick has been both a tattoo artist and a contemporary artist.  Her paintings and prints are influenced by her interest in and experience with tattoos.  In her own words….

“I’m an artist. I like to sew. I like vintage stuff.

I was born in British Columbia, Canada in a small cabin in the woods. I was then raised in California by a single hippy mother, who always encouraged my creative spirit. Finally arriving in San Francisco at age fifteen after years and years of constant displacement, I finally felt at home. The next year I decided to become a tattoo artist after meeting some influential misfits. Many years later after finishing college I gained a tattoo apprenticeship with Henry Goldfield and it was in North Beach, not too far from where Lenny Bruce fell out of his hotel window that my career was started. My work is heavily influenced by tattoo imagery which has become a symbolic language in my paintings.”
