Price: 550 EUR
Availability: InStock

The guiding principle behind Albert Oehlen’s art is the use of artistic freedom to not be boring. It comes as no surprise then that his art has considerably changed over time, leaving no two series entirely alike. The Self Portrait series by Albert Oehlen are a combination of 8 paintings dating back to 1983. Through each painting, Oehlen respectively alludes to the works of past masters, spanning from Picasso to de Chirico. By flaunting his versatility, Oehlen confirms his skill while leaving a shadow of doubt as to his intentions: homage or sardonic reinterpretations?

Albert OEHLEN

Albert Oehlen is a German contemporary artist born in 1954 in Krefeld, Germany. Through his experimental work, Oehlen constantly seeks to challenge traditional painting hierarchies with bold colours, forms, and spatial relationships, always exploring the function of a medium, rather than its ability to convey meaning or evoke emotion.

The two skateboard editions produced in collaboration with Albert Oehlen were launched at the prestigious Palazzo Grassi. Enthusiastic about the partnership, THE SKATEROOM’s Founder Charles-Antoine Bodson said the following:

“Collaborating with visionary artists such as Albert Oehlen is not only humbling but also inspiring since it allows us to support an NGO and build a skate park in some part of the world.”

Buying guide

“Printed Signature on the deck” refers to the printed signature of the artist included on the top-print. Most decks feature this printed signature, though some specified editions can also feature a hand signed artist signature.

We make a commitment to the social projects we fund: at least 10% of our revenue goes directly to them. Working with our partners, we help empower at-risk youth, build new skateparks and develop education facilities & resource programs. Since 2014, we have generated over $1,500,000 to support social projects around the world.

In 2019, we became a Certified B Corporation. THE SKATEROOM is also CO2 neutral, chooses to source its skateboard wood from certified sustainable forests, and uses water-based ink for its prints.

These editions of artwork are intended for decorative purposes. While you could definitely skate on them if you wanted to, we provide you with one wall mount per deck to hang them on your wall, just like a painting.

We provide you with everything you need to hang your boards up. With your edition purchase you will receive the EasyFix wall mounts. It’s really easy to set up and you can find all the instructions right here. You can always upgrade to the premium SnapDisplay wall mounts.

Our team is also always ready to help if you have any additional questions.

Direct exposure to sunlight might result in discoloration and damage to your editions. To avoid this, we strongly suggest hanging your art-decks away from direct natural light.
