Art by Atlantic Works members Chris Spuglio and Stephanie Arnett
|
In SKIN, Atlantic Works veteran Chris Spuglio and newcomer Stephanie Arnett explore the types of identities we choose for ourselves and the ways in which we personalize a blank human canvas with our life experiences.
Chris Spuglio’s new body of work explores the artistic and technical field of professional tattooing, from traditional to new school design. After a lifetime of painting on traditional surfaces, he now paints on bodies.
According to Stephanie Arnett, “As we become more accustomed to lives integrated with technology, we place more importance on finding ways of differentiating ourselves on the web. My background as a photographer has made me no stranger to the wild world of promoting oneself online. For this show, I’ve stretched my image-making beyond the bounds of the traditional photographic process, working with both the concept of curated surfaces and with new surfaces for printing techniques.”
