In April - Ed Hardy: Tattoo the World

 Bohemia Gallery in Cooperation With the Ashland Independent Film Festival Presents

ED HARDY: TATTOO THE WORLD

Original Works by Internationally Acclaimed Artist Don Ed Hardy

In conjunction with the Ashland Independent Film Festival premier of Emiko Emori's new documentary, Ed Hardy: Tattoo the World, about the life and work of the tattoo artist, Bohemia Gallery will bring the artist and his limited edition prints, etchings, lithographs, and mixed media to Ashland in April.

After training with the legendary tattoo artist, Sailor Jerry Collins, Hardy went on to popularize the Japanese style of tattooing in America. His highly regarded and much sought after Buddhist and Shinto inspired designs have helped bridge the gap between Asian and Western Art and appear throughout both haute and pop culture. Since retiring from tattooing, Ed Hardy has concentrated on fine art, including printmaking, drawing, and painting.

Also in April, hand-pounded pendants by Beth Ann Dolos of Natural Design Metal Studio and delicate, one-of-a-kind hand-made gold jewelry by Kate Jack as well as new porcelain sculptures by Cary Lathan Weigand.

All Ed Hardy works are published and shown courtesy of Trillium Graphics in Brisbane, California.

Ed Hardy: Tattoo the World runs through April. There will be a grand opening during the First Friday Artwalk on April 2nd featuring wine by Liquid Assets.

On April 10th, come meet the artist!

There will be a very special AIFF reception featuring Ed Hardy at 6 p.m. with food and a no host bar by Tabu Restaurant and music by DJ Todd. This is a free event and open to the public!
