Please come down to 111 Minna Gallery for a last look at this amazing show curated by Luke of Seventh Son Tattoo, YEAR OF THE DRAGON. A Big Thank you to all the amazing artists who participated. Luke will also have a few new surprises in store for you.
Doors open at 7pm
A taloned, iridescent beast, great and fire-breathing: the dragon has been an enduring fascination of humans for thousands of years. Depicted in countless cultures and faiths from every corner of the globe, from ancient times through the centuries, they are ubiquitous in the legends and folklore that shape our histories and the stories we tell. We fear and revere this creature: it is both a destroyer and a protector, unknowable and unpredictable. An omen of good fortune and strength, the dragon also symbolizes water and is said to control the sea, the rain, and rivers. A master of the elements, it brings both fire and water, defying the laws of nature. We have been putting their mystifying shape on paper for as long as we’ve dreamt of them.
Remembered by this year’s Chinese zodiac, we celebrate this thunderous beauty in a collaborative exhibit crafted by tattooers from the Bay Area and around the world. In “Year of the Dragon,’ we are excited to host a curated collection of illustrations, paintings and sculptures to celebrate this legend at 111 Minna Gallery. The exhibition will be the second zodiac-inspired exhibition at Minna gallery that has been curated by Luke Stewart, tattooer & owner of San Francisco’s Seventh Son Tattoo. The opening for his previous ‘Year of the Tiger’ exhibition in 2023 was a huge success, and we expect another great turnout this year!
