Mark Gonzales x Printed Matter限量板面

美国纽约艺术家团体Printed Matter创建于1976年，致力于推广艺术设计与作品，近期著名滑板大师Mark Gonzales为该组织设计了一款限量艺术板面，同另两位设计师Liam Gillick和Ari Marcopoulos的作品一起，在Printed Matter网店出售，限量100片，价格为150美元，收入所得将捐赠给Printed Matter组织用于发展推广滑板艺术设计。

Mark Gonzales的作品名为The Mini Big Kahuna，图片中第三款，主题为各种颜色的手绘鞋。另两款产品为Liam Gillick和Ari Marcopoulos所设计。

Printed Matter is pleased to announce the release of three new limited-edition skateboards by Liam Gillick, Mark Gonzales, and Ari Marcopoulos. Produced in editions of 100, each board is signed by the artist and retails for $150.

Mark Gonzales’ The Mini Big Kahuna is an oversized custom-designed board specially made for Printed Matter. On the bottom of the board is a colored offset image of various types of untied sneakers…an image with child-like charm that parodies the act of skateboarding, which demands shoes touching a skateboard.

Ari Marcopoulos’ Cairo, Sonoma, 2006 is a black and white board with a photographic silkscreen of a shirtless androgynous boy, emblematic of the photographer’s iconic subjects and style.

Liam Gillick’s Southbank, 1987 is the artist’s first skateboard. The natural wood board features a silkscreened typographic text, partially obliterated by a freeform line that suggests graffiti.
