Aia Contemporary presents Surface Tension, a two-room exhibition that places painting and tattoo in direct dialogue. In the gallery, paintings reveal the rhythm of line and gesture, while in the adjoining studio that same language continues on skin.

On Saturday 27 September, 12:00 - 20:00, the studio will host live tattoo sessions with Patrik Babic, Agnes Hayden, Martin Routa, Lee Stewart, and Andrii Volkov. Visitors are welcome to watch or take part. Tattoos are available by booking directly with the artists or on a limited walk-in basis from 12:00.

As an independent art space dedicated to artists shaped by tattooing, Aia Contemporary underscores how this connection extends beyond subculture into the wider field of contemporary art. Surface Tension presents tattoo as both intimate and public, inviting visitors to consider its place within contemporary art today.

Presented independently during Prague Art Week 2025.
