I Only Have To Land It Once
Each of the artists presented has a personal relationship with the skateboarding community鈥攊ts ethos, brands, movies, tricks, camaraderie, and the DIY spirit that permeates the subculture.
To encapsulate the significance of the skater movement, the gallery asked several of the exhibiting artists to describe the impact that skateboarding has had on their lives and on their artistic development. Their individual answers testify to the deep bond each artist has to the subculture, its rituals, and the symbolism that skateboarding manifests.
鈥淪kateboarding and punk rock saved my life,鈥� says Shepard Fairey, whose early work plastered the streets with Andre the Giant鈥檚 likeness, and has since become best known for iconic murals, prints and posters that convey messages of social justice.
