Fabrizio Divari Tattoo Interview Posted

I have a series of tattoo interviews to post over the next while, starting with a local tattoo artist whose studio is actually just down the street from the BME offices, Farizio Divari (divariart.com). I was interested in talking to Fabrizio because his artwork was clearly from a fine art background, with many of his tattoos being evolutions of his cubist paintings. Click through for the interview, and of course come back here to comment.

    I think the next tattoo interviews going up are DJ Minor, Dan DiMattia, and Boff who does the hand tattoos (all quite interesting). Also in the queue are Alex De Pase, Johnny Thief, Roey from Pentagram/Tel Aviv, and a number of others.

    I sat beside a woman in a uni class last year, who happened to have a full sleeve done by this guy (I later saw it in a magazine) and it was full-on terrible. I don’t mean to be a jerk. I don’t! But he had coloured in the negative space with a piss-yellow colour and this poor woman’s arm looked like it had jaundice. I felt pretty bad for her.

    Each tattoo is as beautiful as his canvas-art. Amazing! Thanks for the great interview, too.

    Alex De Pase in Gorizia, Italy (Friuli Venezia Giulia) is just as good, if not better. 😛 That’s who I thought it was when I was the picture at first. Although it seems although Fabrizio has a fine arts background, and it shows in his ink, Alex specializes primarily in realism, abstract, and surrealism and the sort. Those are my two cents. Primo interview, d000d.

    rehan @ 5 – Dude. Pay attention. Shannon’s intro said: “When I first saw Italy-born and now after various international locations Toronto-based” .. and Fabrizio responded to the first question by saying, “I was born in Rome and grew up between Bologna and Milan,” …

    Uhm yeah, he’s Italian.

    Oh Shannon, post the Dan DiMattia interview soon! Please & thanks.

    I love reading interviews like these because, not being particularly interested in being part of the ‘scene’ (such as it is), I don’t know any names in particular. It’s nice to find out about new people 🙂
