Our next show is a solo exhibit by Stef Bastian. Opening reception is Saturday, August 12th from 7-10pm and Stef will be in attendance. He will be showing a collection of paintings from his upcoming book 'Inferno’
In ‘Inferno', Stef skillfully illustrates Dante Alighieri's timeless masterpiece, 'The Divine Comedy', through traditional backpieces. Infused with his own cultural heritage, Stef forges a compelling connection between classical literature and the art of tattoos. With texts in English, Spanish, and Italian to cater to diverse audiences, his book unravels the profound philosophical dimensions of 'The Divine Comedy’ while exuding rich symbolism from his paintings. Inferno aspires to ignite inspiration, expand the visual lexicon, serve as a genre reference, and pay homage to a creative cultural legacy.
‘Inferno’ by Stef Bastian is published by Raking Light Projects and will be available in fall 2023
Please join us at the opening. All are welcome.
