Tattoo drawing on old photographs

Julie Cockburn UK vs. Dr Lakra Mexico
The first work is bij Julie Cockburn and the last 3 by Dr. Lakra.
Both artists use old 'actresses' photographs as background to 'draw' tattoos on them.

Tired

Wim Delvoye

Betsabeé Romero

Without doubt Betsabee Romero has been working for far longer with the engraved tires than Wim Delvoye, but still none of them steal my heart. They both work also with tattoos so: does it makes them at least 'art soul mates'?

Thick paint

I used to go to this office while living in London, where there was a painting a really liked. I enjoyed it in the distance but also with a few centimeters of distance to my nose. I used to smell the oil paint of this Frank Auerbach work. Even though it had been painted many years before it was so thickly painted that the oil was not yet dry and still soft.

Here some example of artists who enjoy the "thick oil" mystery.
