Skateboard Art
For some odd reason (and that odd reason being either my friend Matthew or the sight of Doodah’s Supermodel decks), I have recently developed an obsession with skateboard decks. Lucky me my newfound obsession coincided with the launch of the RE:BOARD project in São Paulo.
Conceived by artist, skater, and musician Alexandre Sesper, the RE:BOARD project involves a documentary about Brazilian skate art, an exhibit with over 200 skateboard decks, renderings, and original artwork, and a retrospective of the work of Billy Argel, one of the most important artists in skate history in the country. The documentary premiered last week, and is currently playing on Wednesdays at 7 pm and on Saturdays at 6 pm at Matilha Cultural in São Paulo. The exhibit is on display at the same venue until August 27.
