TRAMP STAMP

EXHIBITION FEB. 21- 27, 2021

ARTIST STATEMENT

Wood as flesh.. paint as ink.. the carnal.. innate desire to place pigment into the skin and distinguish the exterior.. heavily tattooed women of the early 20th century.. a self-portrait portrayed through the story of ink... TRAMP STAMP celebrates the  use of tattoos as a means of claiming one’s own body that is otherwise controlled by men.. Greta Karr is a Philadelphia born and Los Angeles based multi-media artist.. who tells the tale of her own marked skin with the use of oil paint on plywood panels.. giving new life to traditionally two-dimensional designs...
