It’s the skulls turn now: after the two best sellers and unique
books on the symbol of the dragon, the great tattoo genius returned to ink
drawings after six years.
The book contains 50 incredible sheets with over
300 sketches on the powerful icon of the skull, with the unique expressive
strength and that ironic graphic mark that only Filip Leu is able to give to
each one of his pieces.
The skull, projected in the multi-sided creativity of the Swiss
artist, reflects the thousands of faces of this icon and powerful essence,
playing and hiding under different shapes and forms. The skull is shown in all
the possible interpretations of the iconographic tradition, not only of art (the
Tibetan and Oriental sketches are incredible) but also of the cultural tradition
of all times. Here it is in its most authentic representation of the broken
skull, of the zombie, the flower, in its geometric pureness, with its closest
friend, death, with a sickle and a black hood, and in all the ever-changing
shapes that the skull takes on in tattoo art.
