Founding Father of Ink

Original painting of George Washington. As with much of LEX Covato's art this portrait portrays the first president with tattoos. The tattoos are a celebration of the figure and meant to decorate, educate, and juxtapose the historic figure with modern culture. Washington's tattoos act as visual cliff notes describing his life and accomplishments. This body of Tattooed Icons combines Pop culture, Religious Iconography, and Tattoo culture. Please email to purchase original. Prints are also available through the artist's website.
