It Happened
Original Artwork
CB HOYO, Evgen Čopi GORISEK and Pascal MÖHLMANN (of Plan X Gallery) have joined forces for a special collection with THE SKATEROOM. Each artist has designed and painted 1/3rd of five different triptychs, dedicating their unique styles to exploring the theme of “falling” and translating it into a limited collection of skateboard art editions.
Sometimes all you can do is shrug off from a fall and say - well, it happened. This triptych encourages us to allow the falls and embrace them when they drag us down. The simple message is both motivational and inspiring, reminding us that no struggle is truly individual and no pain will last forever.
A third of the triptych showcases GORISEK’s oil-painted portraits, with the artist’s signature-style smiles in lieu of a human face. For his skateboard art editions, MÖHLMANN chose to zoom in on distraught figures captured in the midst of a fall, inspired by a baroque painting The Fall of The Damned by Pierre Paul Rubens. Meanwhile, CB HOYO examines the fall from a physical, emotional and metaphorical standpoint through a series of his distinctive hand-painted quotes.
