Demon by Jean-Michel Basquiat

This skateboard features a reproduction of the artwork "Solid Fist" (2017) by Japanese painter, sculptor and draughtsman Yoshitomo Nara.  It comes ready to hang with hardware and in a custom MoMA box.

Since the mid-1990s, Japanese born artist Yoshitomo Nara has become known for this playful yet bold images, his mindfulness in determining how and where his art will be seen and for the close personal connection to his art’s creation. Nara selects colors that breathe life into his figures; his sculptures bear traces of his fingers, and the spontaneity of his drawings are born of a daily discipline of experimentation. .

This set of three skateboard decks comes ready to hang with mounting hardware and is limited to 666 editions. Each edition features a screen-print signature.

Ai Weiwei is known for melding art and activism and has had an overtly critical response to the current political climate in the United States. The image for this series is based on Weiwei’s provocative series called "Study of Perspective" that was originally presented during a controversial art exhibition “Fuck Off” which ran alongside the Third Shanghai Biennale in 2000. “Study of Perspective – White House” is an iconic example from this larger series of images shot between 1995-2003 that show the artist flipping the finger against different buildings across the globe, either landmarks or symbols of authority.  The gesture, captured using a snapshot aesthetic, confronts its viewer with a universal and concise statement of his political opposition.

Our partners at The Skateroom, who collaborated with Weiwei for this edition, donate a significant part of their profit to support social initiatives that make the world a better place.  For this collaboration, Weiwei has decided to support two different NGOs: Halklarin köprüsü based in Turkey, and B’Tselem based in Israel.
