2021年Tattoo 刺。影 攝影展

靈感來源於台灣的<刺青藝術>

怪奇悠謬的原古傳說<山海經>，

刺青的每個圖騰對於被刺者都是帶著一個深刻的意涵，不論是神像，花卉骷顱等都是一個專屬自己不論是身體或是精神的影像密碼和意涵，Leo Wu將刺青的身體密碼，從光影與圖騰的交織流動和奇幻瑰麗的山海經中，帶有力量與精神的神獸概念，將刺青者內在的強大能量與爆發力，在作品中展現!

特別感謝，此次創作中一起合作的台灣知名刺青藝術家與插畫藝術家:

The inspiration comes from the tattoo artworks in Taiwan, and the ancient classic, but also mysterious and absurd text of Shan Hai Jing. Every totem has a profound meaning for the tattoo recipient. The totems of deities, flowers or skulls and so on; each of them is encrypted with a special and unique physical or spiritual meaning. Leo Wu has combined the body codes hidden in tattoo, the concepts of powerful and spiritual spirit animals in the unusual and magnificent Shan Hai Jing through the intertwined light, shadow and totems as well as the strong energy and explosive powers of the tattoo recipients into his works.

Special thanks to the collaborators of this project: the famous Taiwanese tattoo artists, Yuan-Shen Zheng and Sun, who were the champions of international tattoo competitions in successive years, as well as the assistance and collaboration from the Taiwanese artist, specializes in illustrations, Sean Wei.
