“I love what THE SKATEROOM has created for kids all over the world who normally would never have access to learning how to skateboard. And I love the concept of decks becoming affordable works of art, giving people an opportunity to collect art that would normally be out of their range just seems like a win-win situation.”
Artist Collaboration
Born in 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, Cindy Sherman lives and works in New York. Her ground-breaking photographs have interrogated themes around representation and identity in contemporary media for over four decades.
The untitled stills are some of the artist’s most recognizable works, often serving as a commentary on the lives of women and their depictions in popular culture. Each of the skate art editions invites the viewer into a fantastical world, as if captured straight from the big screen. In the center are characters of varying appearances and expressions, all commemorated in a specific scene which, despite its stillness, manages to convey a filmic dynamism.
“Considering what’s happening to the innocents of the world, it’s so great to know that THE SKATEROOM helps foster education & empowerment to the young people who need it most." — Cindy Sherman. May 30, 2024
