Skateboard Art Show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition presented a collection of artworks by international artists, designers, illustrators, comic and graffiti artists and more who have used skateboards as their inspiration and medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept was to engage people in a project with one element in common: a skateboard blank deck. Everything else like theme, tool or material was free by choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big thanks for some organizing help and creating flyer designs to Silvia Guiz\u00e1n Sarmiento Link<\/a> and for hosting us Rachel Burns from ‘Das Gift’. Also thanks to all participating artists for taking time to experiment with paintings and installations on skateboard decks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My skateboard drawing represents society nowadays and all its elements. It represents the fact that we never learn and history always repeats itself. It’s a sad representation of the world we live in and the fact that we are powerless individuals but we become powerful together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People. Society. Politics. War. Useless. Powerless. Individual. Individuals. History. Defeat. Humanity. Blood. Pain. Failure. Religion. Money. Fear. Abundance. Acceptance. Moral. Mortal. Power. Race. End.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title of the piece: Thirty mental jackets from embroidered lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base of my work lays on exploring analogue materials to conceptualize pieces that reflect internal dialogues and feelings toward situations and emotions of daily experiences. Collage is the medium that I use to filter this perception and traduce it into something tangible and visible for others to interpret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created \u2018Thirty mental jackets from embroidered lies\u2019, based on the capability of people to create a burden for themselves and toward others by literally embroidering their real stories into lies carrying then through life like heavy garments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interpretation of the account of the death of Ophelia in Hamlet.
The willow tree breaks taking with it Ophelia into the water
Intentional?
An accident?
… she cannot help herself out …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The elongated format of the board is quite a challenge, I wanted to tell a story and started with five different ideas. In the end, the material and the format dictate the narrative present on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u00fcr mein erstes Mal Auf-Skateboard-Malen habe ich einfach gemalt, wie und was ich am liebsten male, also Treppen, die organisch in einem Raum herumschwingen, ein paar Rankepflanzen dazu und das alles auf der Lieblingsfarbe Blau. Mehr Bedeutung und symbolische Inhalte k\u00f6nnen sich meinetwegen im Auge des Betrachters entwickeln \u2026 gerne mit positiven Gef\u00fchlen, f\u00fcr alles andere kann ich keine Haftung \u00fcbernehmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skateboarding is a wonderful way to enjoy oneself and to explore the urban environment. Instead of finding my perfect board, I wanted to create the tool for the fun all by myself. The boards have a clean shape and a straightforward colouring. Designed with less flex \u2013 for faster rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this project, I tried to create a piece, which relates to the shape of the board but also includes the topics street, graffiti and skateboarding. So I painted a character that rides on a board and holds a spray can. As I can remember, Graffiti and Skateboarding have also been activities related to chilling in the streets and backyards of the city. That\u2019s why I called the whole thing \u2018Backyard Brother\u2019 and put apiece on top of the board. The colouring is related to the 90s and the brightness things used to have for me back then. This era still inspires my work and lifestyle today. I used Molotow and Posca markers, so I stuck to my usual style of painting. The process was pretty intense and interesting, because painting on wood is always a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helge Vogt is a comic-drawer (Alisik) and illustrator (Percy Jackson, Die Drei ???, \u2026) from Berlin. These works show characters of his comic-book-series Alisik (Carlsen Comics). It\u2018s about a girl falling in love with a boy. There is only one problem: She is dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the artwork is to present a war scene which shows the violent and deadly journey millions of refugee and migrant people do fleeing from war. In the best-case scenario they reach our borders, where far from giving aid and implementing an active role of asylum and refuge, we welcome them with more violence instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays most of us are used to have short attention spans. My work for this exhibition tries to hold visitors diving into the details. Also an attempt to transfer the viewer shortly into a comparable spirit when I feel lost in drawing or skateboarding forgetting the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I went to an art supply shop, I found some small various shaped canvases. A face on a round canvas came up in my mind. A skateboard is like a tree, I added these and it became like a totem pole somehow, I like it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love to paint objects. Bottles, matchboxes, discarded TVs, skateboards … It\u00b4s nice to go beyond flat paper or canvas. I enjoy to combine the abstract and the figurative and give it an ornamental touch. I also wanted to make sure to let the natural surface of the board come thru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boasting homemade concrete wheels, this brutalist skateboard rests on a shelf made from the same wood it was sculpted in, a block of sto\u2026 reclaimed roadwork wood covered in microphoned rubber. Give it a gentle nudge and enjoy the sound of the ground rolling on the wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My concept has been mainly inspired by the unique form of the canvas defined by the skate deck, as-well-as the infamous phrase synonymous with skating: \u2018skate or die!\u2019. The meaning of this phrase for me is that skating is not just a sport, but an all-encompassing lifestyle. In Barcelona, where I live this is certainly the case, which why I chose to incorporate some elements of the city as well. The skateboard acts as an x-ray shining light on the inner-being of the heroine and exposing her soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
