About
In this second collaboration with American artist Raymond Pettibon, THE SKATEROOM continues to explore the internationally acclaimed artist’s surfer-themed works. This time, the set of six decks, takes on a bigger scale. In the spirit of Hokusai’s wave, Pettibon illustrates the magnitude of Nature over Man. We can read on this beautiful piece: "I see the brimming, boiling, eddying stream and I want to cool my feet."

About the Artist

Portrait of Raymond PETTIBON

Raymond Pettibon’s (b. 1957) influential oeuvre engages a wide spectrum of American iconography variously pulled from literature, art history, philosophy, religion, politics, sports, and alternative youth culture, among other sources. Intermixing image and text, his drawings engage the visual rhetoric of pop and commercial culture while incorporating language from mass media as well as classic texts by writers such as William Blake, Marcel Proust, and Walt Whitman. Through his exploration of the visual and critical potential of drawing, Pettibon’s practice harkens back to the traditions of satire and social critique in the work of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century artists and caricaturists such as William Hogarth, Gustave Doré, and Honoré Daumier, while reinforcing the importance of the medium within contemporary art and culture today.
