Oscar Low - Skate Deck | Freestyle

This skate deck by New Zealand artist Oscar Low is one of over 40 one-off original skatedecks that were designed by artists for Limn Gallery's first show of 2023 - FREESTYLE.

This one-of-a-kind original work has been produced using spray paint on board with a high gloss finish.

Featuring over 50 talented artists from around New Zealand, FREESTYLE features a blend of original artwork on skateboard decks, sculptures, and a series of photographs by award winning photographer, Petra Leary.

This unique and dynamic showcase of creativity is a celebration of the intersection of skateboarding and art, two distinct forms of self-expression that have long been intertwined. FREESTYLE aims to highlight the unique ways in which artists have interpreted the relationship between these two forms of expression.

Each skatedeck in the show is a canvas for the artist to express their own unique style, techniques and perspectives, resulting in a diverse and eclectic collection of pieces.

Size: 210mm (H) x 800mm (W)

About The Artist:

Oscar Low is a Tāmaki/Auckland based artist who has made and exhibited art since 1998. Operating as a non-de-plume to accompany the public art practice made under the name TrustMe, Oscar Low's work is the studio based side of the same artist. The use of typographic elements has been an ever present feature of his work, evolving over time to now operate as a source for the abstracted forms that feature in his current work. This seemingly retrograde step in the treatment of letterforms stems from an observation that in a world overflowing with messages, perhaps a more meaningful contribution to discourse is one that marks the absence of words.
