Gold Griot

2014

This striking screenprint on wooden skateboard deck features a stylized portrait rendered in bold yellows, blues, and blacks characteristic of Neo-Expressionist art. The composition combines figurative elements with gestural marks and geometric shapes, creating a dynamic composition that merges fine art with street culture aesthetics. The work exemplifies the intersection of contemporary art and skateboard culture, elevating the utilitarian object into a gallery-worthy artwork. The expressive face and energetic linework demonstrate mastery of color and form across a unconventional format.
