AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Schiffmacher (Harderwijk, 1952) comes from a Catholic butcher family in Harderwijk. From an early age he had a penchant for drawing and collecting. He had little interest in school. He wanted to become a painter. His first sketches and drawings made their way to the houses and bedrooms of uncles and aunts, and Schiffmacher won annual drawing competitions. His artistic ambition led in the early 1970s to a short period at the Advertising School REX on Frederiksplein in Amsterdam.
In the mid-1970s he practiced many professions, such as screen printer, display designer, typographer, and photojournalist for Nieuwe Revu. In 2000 he received a retrospective at the Stedelijk Museum Zwolle. Henk Schiffmacher has given numerous exhibitions and contributed to exhibitions in museums, such as the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam, the TextielMuseum in Tilburg, the Westfries Museum in Hoorn, and the Teylers Museum in Haarlem.
Schiffmacher is very active in the field of tattoos and during his travels collected all sorts of items related to the history of tattooing.
Painting, Henk calls an unprecedented luxury. For then he does not have to take others’ tastes into account. In his painting, his origin as a tattoo-king is often visible: the colored images are outlined by thick black lines.
He has tattooed, among others, the following people: the members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers — the members of Pearl Jam — Kurt Cobain — Barry Hay — Willy DeVille — Herman Brood and Xandra Jansen — Anouk — Robbie Williams — Lady Gaga. On 5 November 2011, the Amsterdam Tattoo Museum opened, the largest tattoo museum in the world, dedicated to the mother of all arts: tattooing. At its core is the unique collection that Schiffmacher has built up in more than thirty years. The collection consists of hundreds of tattoo machines and hand tools, countless photographs, flash (tattoo examples), paintings, drawings, sculptures, and even pieces of tattooed skin.
The screen print is mailed registered and insured.
