Atomica Gallery is excited to announce Everyone’s Got One: A Skull Showcase in collaboration with their friends The Circle running from 27th February – 29st March 2014 at The Circle, 21 Noel Street, W1F 8GP. Featuring work from a selection of Atomica artists and taking place in the beautiful gallery space at tattoo studio and lifestyle emporium The Circle, the showcase will focus on one of popular culture’s most iconic images: the skull. The opening night party also happens to coincide with The Circle’s two year anniversary; it’s going to be a big one.

Loaded with a myriad of connotations, the skull has always been a source of inspiration for artists. From Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Skull With A Burning Cigarette’ to Damien Hirst’s notorious platinum and diamond-encrusted creation, they can be found in countless masterpieces. For Everyone’s Got One Atomica has curated work by a variety of artists who have also used the timeless icon as their subject…

Each interpreting the skull in their own distinct way, the work on show will include Ramon Maiden’s re-appropriated vintage illustrations, detailed digital paintings from Tom Bagshaw, Nick Sheehy’s dreamlike characters, an exclusive limited edition print from Juxtapoz magazine cover artist Charlie Immer, plus much more.

And an exhibition at The Circle wouldn’t be complete without tattoos! To celebrate the occasion a selection of artists, including previous Atomica exhibiting artistsRicardo Cavolo, Jack Pearce and Mister Paterson, have created exclusive skull tattoo flash designs. Available as tattoos at The Circle for the duration of the showcase, the flash sheet artwork will also be up for grabs as a special limited edition print.
