OHWOW presents yet another great exhibition, after having a series of outstanding events during Art Basel Miami and recently showing the new Neckface exhibition. This time they present Scott Campbell’s “If You Don’t Belong Don’t Be Long” in New York.

The artist is best known for his work with dollar bills and the precision of his work is once again also in this exhibition what stands out and impresses most.

“Scott Campbell’s new art exhibition If You Don’t Belong, Don’t Be Long takes his traditional tattoo aesthetic and forces it onto a medium that most artists wouldn’t think of, let alone afford. Taking the kindergarten snowflake cutouts of your youth to an unprecedented extreme, the bulk of Scott’s exhibit displays stacked, freshly minted US one dollar bills carved out with an Epilog laser to create three-dimensional skulls, human hearts, and a (assumingly) life sized image of the grim reaper himself. Along with his macabre subject matter are equally impressive carvings written in a wispy, traditional tattoo hand style, as well as Scott’s lesser-known two dimensional holographic paintings.”

OHWOW是紐約最新潮的藝術展覽館之ㄧ，最近登場的另類雕刻藝術家 – Scott Campbell 擅長以紙雕來展現美感，他的作品經常以美金一元紙鈔當做創作素材；死神、噴火龍、老鷹以及大量的骷髏以立體的鈔票紙雕展現在世人眼前，點擊以下欣賞這場 “If You Don’t Belong, Don’t Be Long”的展覽照片。
