Witness an awe-inspiring display of tattoo artistry, featuring a diverse array of styles, techniques, and designs. From traditional to avant-garde, this expo showcases the best and boldest in the tattoo world with artworks across a variety of mediums from photography and canvas, to framed flash sheets that celebrate iconic tattoos, or the design process behind them.

Urban Wildlife brings together a group of artists working across different mediums to explore the visual connection between animals and urban city life. Often unexpected and at times surrealistic, each creative brings their own approach and style to the subject–from murals to classic gallery work—with each work open to the viewer’s interpretation. We’re proud to present this broadly oriented yet accessible collection to shine a colourful, cheerful light on the darkest months of the year, in the heart of Amsterdam’s urban centre.

Street Love I A mix-medium show featuring a group of artists who all have a particular, but often varied link to art made on the streets. Artists who graduated from art academy that started exploring their creative path while hitting the streets with spray cans. Creative photographers with a passion for raw textures and capturing the most iconic street sceneries. Illustrators and designers who love to get away from their sketchbook and computers and create stunning work on the streets. And well-established artists that showcase their art in galleries all over the globe, but still embrace their first love, the streets. It’s their personal translation from their own creative path that made them the artists that they are today. Street Love brings a collection of artworks from seven artists showcasing their current level of skills. Sometimes with a clear link to the streets and sometimes requiring the imagination of the viewer to take over.

Artist line-up: Marije Maria, FELEON, Ravian Derriere, Potato and Onion, Luis Sanchez, Ali C. Ambriz, Bondage Bunny.

In official partnership with Pride Amsterdam, the internationally acclaimed photography exhibition, “Kings & Queens”, by Micha Schneijderberg (Snorella WC) and photographer Léon Hendrickx, takes over the art’otel Gallery. The captivating & poignant yet often humorous exhibition, features drag queens from all over the world, bringing the viewer closer to their identity beyond the exhibitionist extravaganza. Each image features two personalities of the same individual laid bare. The man, woman, or else, is intimately embracing their alter ego, the drag king or queen – or is it vice versa?

The exhibition is free to visit daily 11AM – 11PM 24 July 2023 – 6 August 2023. @artotel #myartotel @amsterdamstreetart

The name Punctilious, pronounced as “punk-til-ee-us”, is derived from the Italian word “puntiglio,” which means fine point. The inspiration behind this exhibition is found in the “illegal” graffiti movement of the eighties. The artists pioneering this movement pushed boundaries and took risks, while working within tight timeframes. They approached their craft with the utmost seriousness, striving for perfection, accuracy, and punctiliousness. This exhibition presents the work of 3 renowned artists who are balancing on the thin line between absolute geniality and total madness. For The London Police, DIGITAL DOES, and Hugo Mulder DHM, every dot is thought-through, every splatter is a visual expression placed on an exact spot and every stroke has an indescribable meaning of artistic value.
