基本説明
En augmentation constante, le tatouage connaît un véritable engouement depuis les années 1990-2000. Pourtant, l'existence de cette pratique, présente dans toutes les sociétés, remonte au IVe millénaire av. J.-C. et a connu des fortunes diverses dans l'imaginaire collectif : longtemps considéré en Europe comme le signe de l'exclusion sociale, sa présence renvoyait en Asie à la pègre, tandis qu'il était marque de prestige social chez les Océaniens. L'émergence de technologies nouvelles et un monde devenu plus accessible vont permettre au tatouage de connaître une seconde vie artistique : aux quatre coins de la planète, on recense aujourd'hui des artistes tatoueurs de renom, de véritables courants artistiques et des oeuvres aux qualités esthétiques indéniables.
Full Description
This book explores the artistic nature of tattooing and celebrates its living, creative, changing essence. Alongside the omniscience of tattoing throughout the world for thousands of years, presented through rare artifacts, the book pays tribute to the pioneers of the modern era, those responsible for its great transformation into the mainstream. Tattooing has become one of the most dynamic artistic currents of our era and is ever-evolving, despite the great revolutions the art has undergone. This book looks to its foremost representatives, the tattoo artists themselves, the guardians of the temple. With this in mind, two types of contemporary workshop creations have been produced. The first one presents thirteen silicone models, thirteen 'extracts' of the body, prints modelled from actual people, used by tattoo artists in the exercise of their art, machine worked or using traditional tools, depending on their daily practice. In search of a mise en abyme, blank canvases were offered to other artists, in the classic application known as 'body suit'. The artists featuring in the book are world recognized. All active continents are represented: Europe, America, Asia and Oceania. All practitioners are respected by their peers for their contribution to the art. Finally there is a series of photos presenting the two most recent currents in modern tattooing, a locker room of aesthetic graphics that firmly root tattooing in the third millennium.
