ART ANARCHY TATTOO COLLECTIVE AT HOWL

INTERNATIONAL TATTOO ARTISTS BRING DARK AND SURREAL ARTWORK TO FORT MYERS, FLORIDA

Tattoo Artists Pooch and Krasshopper bring Art Anarchy Collective to Howl Gallery, May 3rd.

Tattoo artist and painter Pooch is known for his roller coaster and carnival themed acrylic paintings, influenced by Disney World trips with his parents from a young age. Pooch's work has been sold in highly regarded galleries such as Copro Nason in LA and Roq La Rue in Seattle and his tattoos and art have been featured in countless magazines.

Krasshopper. aka Peter Klein, tattooist and owner of Skin Art Two Tattoo, hosted the first annual Art Anarchy exhibition in his hometown of Morfelden-Waldorf , Germany. Along with Pooch and Krasshopper tattoo artists Bojan from Serbia, Yang Zou aka YZ from China, and Luc from Paris are also members of the collective.

Pooch's paintings blend asian, mexican day of the dead, traditional american tattoo art and roller coaster carnival themes. Add tattooing to the mix and you have a blend of ancient mysteries and images of gods and monsters, which populate many of his highly detailed paintings.

Krasshopper's recent forays into pop culture icons like Sons of Anarchy and Boardwalk Empire bring elements of Chicano black and grey realism tattooing rendered in iconic pencil drawings. Residing in the Hessen Germany region, Peter like to refer to his style as Hesse-Cano.

Both artists also produce digital work on Wacom's Cintiq monitor, which allows them to draw directly on the screen, many of these recent works will be available as limited edition canvas prints at the show.

Opening reception at HOWL May 3rd from 8 til close.
