DRAFT: “Visceral Alchemy”
MAY 29 - JULY 3, 2026
Visceral Alchemy refers to a profound, and intuitive transformation of self. What greater transformation than creating or receiving artwork that lasts a lifetime? Tattooers are incredible artists– they are constantly creating, often taking requests for someone else's dream or idea and turning it into an original piece of art. With roots as a misfit's subculture, tattoos are now mainstream. Many tattooers are formally educated and continue to create outside of their occupation. Does their profession inform their personal artwork, or vice versa? Could one exist without the other? This invitational, group exhibition explores that relationship and looks at the fine art side of the tattooing industry. Curated by Sarah Overbeck and Matt Hays.
