Henry Taylor The 4th Skate Deck

Sale price $450.00Member Price $405.00 Member Price
The 4th is released in a limited edition size of 100. Based on a 2012 13-feet tall piece composed of two stacked panels. As Tatiana Istomina describes the work, ‘The upper [panel] shows the monumental form of a black woman in a white T-shirt; she holds what looks like a potato chip in one manicured hand and a barbecue fork in the other… Like many of Taylor’s best paintings, the work transcends the particular circumstances of the depicted event, transforming it into a metaphorical statement of epic proportions… Although her appearance is firmly rooted in the everyday life of contemporary America, the scale, posture, and gravity of the figure connects her to timeless icons of fertility and power, from Paleolithic Venus figurines to traditional African sculpture and early Renaissance Madonnas.’

THE SKATEROOM commits 10% of revenue to support a social skateboarding project around the world. In the case of Henry Taylor, that project is building Pakistan's first skatepark. This skatepark is a collaborative effort of skateboarding non-profits Salad Days of Skateboarding, Wonders Around the World, and Skate Pakistan.
