OPENING NIGHT OF DIRTY HANDS








Opening night was a huge success!
A big thank you to everyone who showed up to show some support for a local movement.
And an even bigger thank you to those of you who purchased artworks on the night!

Here is an article from the local paper about the Dirty Hands show:


In ancient times, tattoos were considered a work of fine art.
And that’s what Kimma Connor would like to see a return to.
She and partner Karen Andrew set up the Blackbird Tattoo Studio at Erina last November - not only to provide custom drawn personalised tattoos, but also to establish an artists’ co-operative to promote independent artists who paint “outside the square”.

“We want to encourage modern artists who do any form of artwork, regardless of their canvas,” Ms Connor said.

Tonight the studio will open the first of what it hopes will be many exhibitions of photography and artworks by five talented young artists.
The Dirty Hands exhibition will feature works by modern artists DannyB, Laes, Ldyctz, Killpaint and Scott Walker.
J.E, 22, who paints as Ldyctz, said the new studio was a boom to artists.
“It is so difficult to have your work accepted by a traditional gallery,” he said.

“It is a very daunting task trying to get your work hung and now Kimma has made it so easy for us.”
“There is a perception that the coast is something of a cultural desert,” Ms Connor said.
“But there are many talented young artists who deserve to have their work shown.”
Ms Connor, who has an honours degree in fine arts, designed every tattoo.
“People want to feel comfortable with someone who is putting artwork which will last a lifetime on their body and they want someone to care about what the tattoo means to them,” she said.
She said her client base included men and women from every walk of life.
“My oldest client is 85,” she said. “But I want this to be more than a tattoo parlour - I want it to be a showcase of artistic talent here on the Central Coast.”
