Basquiat Skull. Utilising the world (and tools) of skateboarding to create a backdrop for modern art and a home for positive change in the world, The Skateroom is a breath of fresh air – and a work of art on wheels.

Jean-Michel Basquiat Skull

Skull, this iconic visual is an untitled piece originally presented at Jean-Michel Basquiat’s debut solo exhibition in New York City. Skull, as it came to be known, features a deconstructed figure that plays heavily on the contrast between inner and outer elements – a suggested dichotomy prominent in many of Basquiat’s works. Though the piece seems easy to understand at first glance, a deeper look leaves us wondering what message the mythical artist truly wanted to deliver.

The Skateroom

Founded by Charles-Antoine Bodson, Belgian ex-gallerist and skateboard collector, The Skateroom is a surprising combination of high-profile art, skateboards and good will. By featuring global artists’ artwork on skateboards, The Skaterooms makes limited-edition artwork available at more approachable price points and introduces it to a wider audience in a fresh, new form. More than just matchmakers between art and decks, however, The Skateroom is a philanthropic powerhouse and major supporter of NGO social organisation “Skateistan.”
