Through the lens of a black and white video that mirrors the visceral figurative style of Jun Cha, filmmaker Santiago Arbelaez followed the LA-based artist during his 14-day pop-up tattoo studio in Paris. Expanding Cha’s ongoing investigation to fuse classical inspirations within the modern medium of tattooing, the artist challenges traditional concepts of the creative process and continues the dialogue between art history and fine line Black and Grey which has been a constant evolving theme in his work.

‘Forever Fabled’ by the Orange County based artist is Arthur’s first solo show with Thinkspace Gallery. The exhibition is being held June 1 to June 29.

In this new body of work Arthur will be revisiting the fairytales of our youth with a risque approach to their telling. Taking the sensual scopic fascinations he has perfected in his work to date, Arthur will play with narrative and imagery appropriated from these shared stories. Fairytale is notoriously rife with libidinal content and beautiful tragedies, source material perfectly suited to Arthur’s intoxicating work.
