Bob Geerts, better known as Bobeus, presents with Afterlife a tribute to the art of tattooing. With an impressive career spanning twelve years as a tattoo artist, Geerts not only showcases his personal growth in this exhibition but also shares intimate stories and vivid memories.
Afterlife delves deep into the exploration of both the similarities and differences between tattooing and painting. The exhibition focuses on the transition Geerts underwent, placing time at the forefront of the narrative. Delving into the influence of time on himself, his tattoos, and his art, the artist intricately incorporates the essence of his work into his paintings—the interplay between impermanence and eternity.
As the skin slowly fades away, the canvas endures, and it is precisely these contrasts that radiate beautifully in Geerts’ first solo show.
