ABOUT
In Working with My Hands, Denver-based artist and tattoo artist Moeh Haywood's works include recent long format prints themed around whimsical tales, offering a break from reality that's inspired by children's books. Haywood's graphic works are bold, distinctive, and dynamic, often including anthropomorphic animal characters and naturalistic elements reminiscent of Japanese artwork. Combining these narrative and stylistic elements with his love for hip hop, skateboard, and tattoo culture, Working with My Hands reveals an artist of great skill following many creative paths while keeping grounded to his ethos. In his words, "I usually stay in my lane, but there's always a little swerving in my pursuit of learning different crafts." The artist will be showing conecut and linocut block relief prints, painted wood cutouts, and gilded reverse glass paintings in his first solo exhibition at Alto Gallery.
