Opening Night: 19 September at 6pm
Exhibition Dates: 20 September - 2 November
INK – The Art of Mark-Making presents work by Carlos Bautista, a Mexico City-born artist drawing on the landscapes and traditions of Oaxaca (State of Mexico).
He brings together ink, paper, and skin in a thoughtful exploration of contemporary and ancestral mark-making. The project combines printmaking and live tattooing to reflect on the body as both a surface and a site of meaning.
Through both prints and tattoo performance, Bautista explores themes of nature, transformation, and memory. His practice connects personal and cultural histories, with each mark - on skin or paper - carrying narratives shaped by place and time.
INK invites audiences to consider how symbols and stories are carried across generations and ancestors, and how the act of marking can embed intimacy and meaning in place.
Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts Opening Hours:
Tues - Fri: 9am-5pm
Sat - Sun: 9am-1pm
Sun:10am - 3pm
Closed Mondays, public holidays and during exhibition install weeks.
