Inking the borders of heaven and hell - The art of Ramon Maiden

Dandy delinquent, artist and wanderlust king, Ramon Maiden has created that rare thing - a totally original, recognizable aesthetic derived from the traditions of tattoo. Working with old religious prints and magazines, Ramon's startling inkings create unforgettable images : madonnas with serpent tattoos, photos of male torsos in vintage medical books overlain with mystical imagery, 1940s pin-ups smiling sweetly through their inkings of dragons and daggers.
Beware - Ramon's art sears itself onto one's memory ; once seen, never forgotten.
