André SARAIVA

Price: 1500 EUR

André Saraiva’s work is synonymous with Mr. A, his iconic graffiti alter ego. The figure began making its appearance around Paris in 1994, though it wasn’t long until Mr. A started showing up all over the world. Easily recognizable with his slender shape, rounded winking face, wearing a top hat, and often drawn in pink, the character propelled Saraiva into the international spotlight. Today, having featured in multiple collaborations with various brands, Mr. A is a superstar in his own right.

Discover this project

Saraiva has forged a unique path as a graffiti artist. Unlike many of his contemporaries—who migrated their art from street to gallery—he bypassed the commercial art world, choosing to situate his work in nightclubs from New York to Tokyo. These clubs—many of which he has opened and promoted—have changed the nightlife scenes in their cities.

Mr. A and his Love Graffiti—tags of names in pop colors, commissioned by loved ones—spread Saraiva’s core values of love and generosity around the world. He draws constantly, filling notebooks and scraps of paper—yet rarely displays these. For Saraiva, drawing is intimate, a practice that helps him maintain distance from the commercial world of art.

In 2012, Saraiva had his first New York solo show, ‘Love Letters,’ at Half Gallery, as well as exhibitions at The Hole in New York, Anonymous Gallery in Mexico City, and MUDE Museum in Lisbon. He has collaborated with clients like Gallerie Lafayette, Converse, and Louis Vuitton, and was featured in the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop.

Saraiva was also one of the first graffiti artists to use the color pink, which until then had been considered taboo in the street art world.

The work for this Collaboration is based on André’s graffiti alter ego, Mr. A—known for his wide face, huge smile, and cheeky wink. The collaboration with André has raised $15,000 to fund the construction of Angola’s first skatepark in Luanda.

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 $1,000,000 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.

You have up to 14 days after receiving your order to request a return. The 14-day return policy is applicable on all products except limited hand-signed editions.
