Born in 1933 in Manhattan, New York, Thom deVita is a singular artist tattoo; the place of his work is also remarkable, bringing the essence of the gesture in tattoo art while standing away from any possible categorization. Thom deVita grew up in the harsh and cosmopolitan area of the Lower East Side. His artistic practice is self-taught, and he only attends art schools as a model: he developed a pictorial collage and assemblage style in the line of Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline and Joseph Cornell that he admires, and displays in the 1950s his work at outdoor art fairs of the Washington Square Park. It is then that he frequents the Abstract Expressionism painters of the New York School. Read more.
