PHAT1 TMD - Skate Deck | Freestyle

This skate deck by New Zealand artist PHAT1 TMD (Charles Williams) 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 and acrylic on board.

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)
