The Atomic Rooster is a bar and bistro that’s making an effort to have real art on its walls.
The latest show is titled Ink and Oil, and it features works by Ottawa tattoo artists including Glen Paradis, Joel Conroy, Julie Card and others.
The vernissage is 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2, and the show continues to April 28. What I’ll be looking to see is which of the artists are simply transferring their tattoo art to other surfaces (canvas, board, etc.), and which are pushing themselves beyond their comfort zone to less-familiar, non-tattoo places.
