Women, flowers, butterflies, daggers, skulls, vessels, felines, animals, birds and religious subjects: a repertoire of timeless icons reinterpreted in hundreds of different variations arranged in dozens per page, in the dense, generous spirit of the classic tattoo stencil sheets of old times. Paul Doubleman – Lines and Drawings is an essential tool for rediscovering the value of research on paper, comparing hundreds of interpretations of the same subject and building one’s own visual language from solid, authoritative and excellent references. His ability to combine sensuality and melancholy, fluid elegance and the intense depth of his bold linework make his signature unmistakable. Curated with the discerning eye of Miki Vialetto, Paul Dobleman – Lines and Drawings is more than a flash book. For the professional tattoo artist, it is a reference library compressed into a single portable object. For the tattoo lover, it is an invitation to see the tradition with new eyes.
