White Canvas - gallery overview
White Canvas by Diconay Boa, the May exhibition @ Nitroglobus
Diconay explains:
Tattoos are jewelry for the skin.
People get them for many reasons: for attention, self-expression, artistic freedom,
rebellion, a visual display of a personal narrative, reminders of spiritual/cultural traditions, sexual motivation, addiction, identification with a group or even drunken impulsiveness. Our current society craves individuality and self expression. And now many people wear their artistic expression.
Tattoos are especially interesting in the virtual world because of its lack of permanence on a virtual mesh body. But someone talented in the digital arts can really make it look surreal and beautiful.
To me tattoos represent creativity, sensuality and this is what I have hoped to achieve in this study. This exhibit is a study of second life tattoos and my interpretation of the work of some tattoo artists in SL.
This is the reason I call this exhibit a White Canvas, representing the bare skin on which will be imprinted memories, emotions and art.
I hope you take some joy from it.
Welcome to my head and heart.
