Desert Flood (Kai the marble cactus), Hand-signed
Limited edition of 50
The cactus is an ecological force: resilient and adaptive to the increasing aridity of land in many parts of the world. Carved in marble, the shape becomes an ultimate symbol of resistance and survival to inhospitable conditions. Camouflaged with a cartoonish connotation that is both joyful and optimistic, the cactus is inscribed in Claudia Comtes artistic vocabulary as the ultimate denunciation of the root causes of desertification.
Claudia Comtes practice is guided by a longstanding interest in teasing out the history and memory of biomorphic forms through traditional hand processes, industrial and machine technologies. At the heart of Comte’s work are serial sculptures inspired by organic morphologies playfully recomposed within fluid and immersive environments. Drawing on the powers of communication, knowledge and symbiosis between animal and plant life, Claudia Comte’s dynamic and shape-shifting objects pay testament to the intelligence and transformative capacities of the ecological world.

- Limited Edition: editions available in defined quantities, a fixed number that will determine the amount of skate decks that will ever be produced for an artwork. All limited editions come with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Some editions are also numbered on the top print — see product pictures. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
- Open Edition: these editions are not limited, which means that an indefinite number can be produced and restocked over the course of a set period. Newsletter subscribers get first updates on when that period is nearing an end.
- Original Artwork: usually hand-made by the artist and unique, these artworks are the most exclusive pieces in each collection. Coming in varied sizes and textures, they are rare collectibles from the artist straight to your wall.
- Time Limited Edition: a timed release allows us to sell a skate art edition for a set period of time. Once the window ends, the release won't be available to buy anymore.
CoA is short for certificate of authenticity. CoA’s are either signed by the artist or THE SKATEROOM in order to validate the editions. It is specificized on each product page if a CoA is provided with the edition.
