Art Leu Family. Caresser la peau du ciel

The Leu family is well-known among tattoo fans worldwide. In the late 1960s and 1970s, Felix and Loretta Leu used their tattooing skills to fund extensive travels with their four children Ama, Aia, Filip and Ajja. These years on the road were nourished by artistic curiosity, forming the basis for a distinct family cosmos. Featuring works by all members of the family, the exhibition offers a picture of this special universe.
Die Familie Leu geniesst unter Tattoo-Fans weltweit grosse Bekanntheit. Felix und Loretta finanzierten sich Ende der 1960er und in den 1970er Jahren mit dem Tätowieren ausgedehnte Reisen mit ihren vier Kindern Ama, Aia, Filip und Ajja. All diese Jahre unterwegs waren genährt von künstlerischer Neugier und bildeten die Grundlage für einen einzigartigen familiären Kosmos. Die Ausstellung zeichnet anhand von Werken aller Familienmitglieder ein Bild dieses besonderen Universums.
Musée Tinguely, 3 mars – 17 octobre 2021
La famille Leu est mondialement connu dans l’univers du tatouage. Felix et Loretta, durant la fin des années 1960 et les années 1970 en ont fait leur gagne-pain pour courir le monde avec leurs quatre enfants, Ama, Aia, Filip, et Ajja. Toutes ces années de voyage ont été nourris d’une curiosité artistique, et ont donné corps à un cosmos familial, un ciel étoilé dont ils sont les créateurs et les protégés. L’exposition naît de la volonté de montrer ce cosmos à travers les créations artistiques de tous les membres de cette tribu.

Tuesday I drove to Biodelic Tattoo Art in Sursee

Friend and long time colleague Valentin Steinmann is another driving force behind our tattoo museum initiative. Our afternoon discussion focused on Swiss tattoo culture, the artists and historical aspects of the story the TMB wants to tell… Tradition and Recognition
