NEON KNIGHTS | March

Opening Reception:  Friday, March 2nd from 5pm – Late
Featuring Artists: Henry Lewis & Lango Oliveira

Henry Lewis

As a tattooist, my painting work pokes fun at the social, cultural, and political issues in the tattoo community. I execute my ideas by deconstructing traditional Americana and “flash art,” giving new life to these antiquated images. For this body of work I am teaming up with a longtime brother in arms, Lango Olivera.

Lango Olivera

My artwork is made out of the necessity and urge to express myself outside of the tattooing world. With each piece I plunge into a new, unexplored dimension where fantastic beasts fight through mythological scenarios representative of the human experience. After years of working together in the tattoo shop, sharing a studio, and spending long nights seeking inspiration from heavy metal, Henry Lewis and I now join forces to see what hybrid creatures we can create.
