Spoke Art is pleased to present FLASH, a group exhibition featuring over 30 tattoo artists from around the world bringing their own unique style to the ubiquitous tattoo flash sheet. Building on the rich visual history of tattooing, FLASH brings the contemporary parlor into the gallery.

Working in a wide variety of styles, each work has been created by an actively tattooing artist. Freed from the bounds of the increasing demand for custom and client-driven work, each flash sheet represents the artists’ personal art practice.

As the tattoo community and perceptions of the art form shift with changing tools, revival of traditional methods and styles, and increased visibility, flash and tattooing’s role in contemporary art has also evolved. Bridging between the tattoo shop and the gallery, FLASH gives tattoo collectors and the unadorned a new context to appreciate the work of the contemporary tattoo artist.

Please join us for FLASH, opening Saturday, February 3rd, with an opening night reception from 6pm - 9pm. The exhibition will be on view through Saturday, February 24th.  For more information or additional images, please email us at SF@spoke-art.com.
