Krisal gallery in Geneva is launching a new photography exhibition showcasing Etienne Dumont, a bizarre, eccentric personality who is tattooed from head to toe and has several implants including horns in his head.
Etienne Dumont is a celebrated art critic who works for Geneva's daily newspaper, La Tribune de Genève. The exhibition shows 12 photographers' portraits of Mr. Dumont on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Implications - While many might see this exhibition as unusual, and a celebration of deviance, tattooing has emerged as a dominant art form over the last several decades, and Dumont couldn't agree more. Since he was first inked in 1974, Dumont sees his entire body as an artistic work in progress and the Krisal Gallery clearly concurs.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Tattoo Art as Expression
- Expanding acceptance and appreciation of tattoo art as a form of self-expression opens up opportunities for innovative tattoo artists and businesses.
- Body Modification as Art
- The embrace of body modification as a form of artistic expression creates a platform for unique and unconventional artists to showcase their work.
- Alternative Art Exhibitions
- Unconventional art exhibitions that challenge societal norms open up new possibilities for artists and spaces to explore non-traditional forms of art.
Sectors Adopting This
- Tattoo Industry
- The growing popularity and acceptance of tattoos as an art form present opportunities for tattoo studios, artists, and suppliers to cater to a larger market.
- Body Modification Industry
- The increasing interest in body modification as a form of artistic expression creates a niche market for body modification studios, artists, and specialized products.
- Art Exhibition Industry
- The rise of alternative art exhibitions that embrace unique and unconventional artists opens up opportunities for gallery owners, curators, and event organizers to showcase innovative works.
