Tidal Flexing: Amanda Wachob

Abigail Ogilvy Gallery is proud to announce Tidal Flexing, our first solo presentation of Amanda Wachob's artwork. A true innovator in her field, Wachob has become internationally known for redefining the fine art of tattooing. Her recent body of works on canvas are created by using tattoo ink and a surrealistic technique called Decalcomania.  It is also the process used in preparing "marbled" tattoos. The final impressions are printed digitally onto temporary tattoo paper, and then applied to canvas instead of skin. The tattoo ink creates an abstract visual ebb and flow, combining neon colors with dark hues and areas of intentionally exposed canvas. The resulting organic shapes are reminiscent of an extraterrestrial shoreline that calls attention to the artist's process. In addition to the artworks on canvas, Tidal Flexing introduces Wachob's first limited-edition print on silk.
