Kirk Wilken _ Artist Statement
Kirk Wilken
As a lifelong artist, a pivotal turn happened when found a Tattoo magazine during his teenage years. His artistic focus shifted and he began studying the various styles of art from within the traditional American, Japanese to Bio-mechanical designs. Tattoo seems to encapsulate anything and everything imaginable. The sacred and the profane, life and death, love and loss. Everything is worshipped on the alter of Tattoo.
Now as a Tattooer of 20 years, he spends his time painting and chasing the perfect Tattoo. For the last decade he has dedicated himself to the mastery of his chosen craft at the prestigious Lifetime Tattoo in Denver Colorado, a modern temple of all things Tattoo. You can find him in the back hunched over his work table putting together the pieces of the puzzle again and again.
