Concrete 2 Canvas: More Skateboarders' Art

By Jo Waterhouse

Book Overview

Following the successful Concrete to Canvas, this second volume of skater-art is the only collection of art by international skateboarders from around the world--including Canada's Chris Dyer--and comes with a foreword by star skater-artist lori-d.Skating culture is highly creative and visual, with byproducts such as board graphics, videos, stickers, magazines and clothing. Since the first graphic was hand-drawn onto a board, there has been a deep-rooted connection between skateboarding and art. As more skater-artists emerge, skateboard magazines feature more artwork in their pages and the number of exhibitions focusing on skater-art is also increasing.Each artist's work is highly individual and distinctive, and there is a huge variety in genre, style, method, medium, subject matter, inspiration and influence. The work featured in Concrete 2 Canvas includes digital art, street art, fine art, paintings, drawings, doodles, illustration and installation.

Gorgeous stuff!

This is an amazing little book, filled with so many diverse images and it is so enlightening to see the work of amateur artists! If you are looking for a book that shows artworks that almost verge into Outsider Art, then here it is. So many wonderful images from so many fascinating artists, who perhaps didn't ever realise they were!
