Solo exhibition by artist and tattooist Joshua James Elkanah Solomon. A collection created on found surfaces. These works reflect on schooling, growing up, and pay homage to a tattoo career through the exploration of process.
This exhibition documents transformation. It expresses elements of self and personal growth through heartbreak, loss, reconnection and building a foundation for change.
This work pursues true intent in defiance of all social, mental, political, creative, and colonial limitations. It is a manifestation of the subconscious across past, present, and future.
Sharing the journey of this work with all those who wander to seek beauty, is the truest blessing and artistic achievement. It is the artist's wish that these works call to, and inspire others, on their own paths.
