“P.J.S. Exhibitions (238 W. 14th between 7th & 8th Ave. NYC), presents Metanoia, a collection of twisted and visually captivating works.

Aptly titled Metanoia, the Greek word for a change of will and the reforming of one’s mind, the exhibit showcases the mind-bending, detailed, and somewhat dark artwork of Chris O’Donnell (New York Adorned), Jason June (Daredevil), Josh Egnew (Three Kings), Ryan Bonilla (Bellum Concepts), Stephanie Tamez (Brooklyn Adorned) and Thomas Hooper (New York Adorned). Bevin Robinson and Patrick Sullivan will be co-curating the show, which runs until August 29th.

Each artist has already left a very permanent mark on the art world. From highly acclaimed tattooing to laser etching, they have established amazing reputations for creating everlasting work. Pieces on display at P.J.S. Exhibitions will include drawings, paintings and etched metals, ranging from dark religious iconography to bright fantastical images.

Through textured media such as etching, painted wood panels and charcoal, the artists’ works stand out physically, visually and psychologically.

The exhibit aims to increase viewer introspection, and encourages a focus on the artists’ creative process.”

Korean artist Min Jeong Seo used molds taken from professional ballet dancers arms to create tattooed casts of porcelain. The porcelain arms in dancing positions are painted with Japanese Yakuza-style tattoo patterns. In combination, the two open each other up. Like a real tattoo that lies under the skin, the painted patterns lie under the porcelain glaze.

“Compelled to examine this contemporary subculture, Bertucci traveled to various tattoo conventions in the United States and abroad, photographing women ages 19 to 59 both in her studio and on location. Here, Bertucci chooses to frame her subjects in simple, timeless poses that both formally accentuate the female figure and poetically delineate their illustrious tattoos. Bertucci’s imagery and execution can be referenced back to classical portrait paintings, yet contradicts the historical view of the ‘anonymous muse’ by including image titles that reveal a name, age and occupation. This incongruity renders a complex window through which the viewer’s perspective of time and era is blurred.”
