You’re invited! Ed TEMPLETON at THE SKATEROOM Gallery

We are pleased to announce that multidisciplinary artist and legendary skateboarder Ed TEMPLETON is launching a limited collection of skateboard art editions with THE SKATEROOM.

Ed Templeton (b. 1972, Garden Grove, CA; based in Huntington Beach, CA) is known for his interdisciplinary practice, most notably of photographs documenting people and street life of Huntington Beach, California, intimate portraits of his wife, and paintings depicting the psychological complexity of American suburbia. He first gained recognition as a teenage skateboard prodigy in the late 1980s and taught himself to photograph on the fly while actively touring for competitions. He later expanded to incorporate his artwork and graphics for his skate company Toy Machine.
