YEAR OF THE SNAKE | Opening Reception
September 27 @ 7:00 pm - 11:30 pm
Year or the Snake is an exhibition inspired by the serpent, a timeless representation of transformation.
Honoring the lunar year animal, artists in this group exhibition will explore the symbolism of renewal, mystery, and power through a collection of snake-inspired works. This marks the third collaborative exhibition between 111 Minna Gallery and Seventh Son Tattoo, bringing together tattoo artistry and contemporary fine art in one striking showcase.
This collection, curated by Seventh Son Tattoo owner / tattoo artist Luke Stewart, features illustrations and paintings crafted by over 40 local and international tattoo artists from the shop’s network. It follows the now-established tradition of celebrating the Chinese zodiac, with the two previous shows “Year of the Dragon” (2024) and “Year of the Tiger” (2023) having been hugely successful.
