The Painted Body, Malcolm Mathieson’s latest photographic exhibition captures the captivating beauty and unique stories of individuals adorned with tattoos.
Through a careful lens, the exhibition delves into the diverse meanings and symbolism embedded within the tattoos, reflecting the rich tapestry of human experiences.
The photographs celebrate the human form as a living masterpiece, where the body becomes a canvas for artistic expression. Bold lines, vibrant colours and intricate details come together to create a visual symphony that captivates and inspires.
Beyond the surface aesthetics, the Painted Body exhibition delves into the deeper layers of human connection and resilience. It highlights the power of self-expression and the importance of embracing one’s identity in a world that often seeks conformity.
The Painted Body exhibition is a testament to the enduring power of art to unite, inspire, and transform and is on display in Paper Chase Cafe, 168 Main Street, Bairnsdale.
