Luca Mamone's Ceramic Works at Contemporary Cluster in Rome
Tattoo artist Luca Mamone presents 20 ceramic pieces in the exhibition '1000°' at Contemporary Cluster in Rome, curated by Giacomo Guidi in collaboration with DRAGO. The show runs from February 28, 2020, at Palazzo Cavallerini Lazzaroni. Mamone, a Roman tattoo artist with over twenty years of experience, began tattooing at 19 after being inspired by Filip Leu in Switzerland. He opened his first studio, Santa Sangre Tattoo, in Rome's San Lorenzo neighborhood in 2000 and has collaborated internationally. The ceramics use ancient techniques and Raku firing, blending Japanese iconography with Western forms to create hybrid imagery. The title '1000°' references the transformative temperature of firing.
