Pop Surrealism

Original, creative, visionary, extravagant and alternative. It has the power to thrill, an irresistible visual impact and creates the wildest, most seductive works of art of our times.

This is Pop Surrealism, an art movement which has developed out of modern pop culture and the surreal, timeless world of myths, fables, nightmares and dreams. After invading art galleries and exhibitions, Pop Surrealism is now taking over tattoo conventions.

Ania Tomicka

Ania Tomicka was born in Poland in 1985 and has lived in Italy since she was 9 years old. She has always loved to draw and while she was at school she began using oil paints – still her favourite medium – later training and perfecting her skills at the Academy of Fine Art. Then she turned over a new leaf and freed her visions with her brush.

This collection is dedicated to her adorable designs: her version of Pop Surrealism is gentle, fairy-like and romantic, yet unexpectedly sharp and sarcastic. There are bittersweet dreams and nightmares, unexpected and often shocking combinations – delicate but macabre little girls, evil bunnies and other strange visions... – which will capture your heart and blow your mind.

Mommy's New Tattoo is the story of a young girl who visits a tattoo shop for the first time with her mother, who is getting a tattoo.

The story examines the mother's reason for getting tattooed and the lasting consequences of wearing and displaying body art.

Great book for all ages!

The 32 internationally acclaimed tattoo artists in this collection have dedicated their skills to developing the art of tattoo.

Representing nine tattoo friendly countries, including France, Japan, Italy, and the U.S., these artists draw from varied art movements and styles in their approach:

• 
  
  • Baroque
  • Cubism
  • Art Nouveau
  • Realism
  • Surrealism
  • Pop Art
  • Expressionism, and more.
    
    

Inspiration from seemingly unexpected sources, like hip hop, punk rock, horror films, and biomechanics inform their work: as such, they filter everything through the artful lens that is themselves.
They are tattoo; tattoo is them. Having perfected their craft on the human body, these artists are now translating their talents to multiple endeavors, proliferating the art of tattoo and stretching its reach to other mediums: printmaking, lithography, film, theater production, toys, children's book illustration, and hand-made tattoo machines, as well as clothing, skateboard, vinyl record and poster design.
More than 350 images, including artist portraits and varied examples of their work, make this book essential for lovers of tattoo and art alike.
Tattoo is you, too.

Full color pictures and painting by Billy Ho that will surely make you uncomfortable or happy.
