Peter Tunney, Skull Session
In recent years, the human skull has experienced a renaissance in the art world, and can be found everywhere from the fashion closets of
Ralph Lauren, to the music videos of
Lady Gaga. World-renowned artist,
Peter Tunney, continues this macabre tradition in "Skull Session," a new exhibition at Clic Gallery. The collection features multi-media artworks silk-screened with Tunney's signature skull, an image he discovered in a vintage dictionary.
In celebration, Farameh Media has released the book
Skull Style, and 1,000 copies have been hand-painted by Tunney himself. Patrons who purchase this limited edition can also take home a Polaroid portrait taken of them by the artist.
“The skull is a symbol of our mortality and a common thread that ties every single one of us together," said artist, Peter Tunney. "They are magical, transporting touchstones of all humanity.”
