身为职业滑手,设计师，艺术家的Chad Muska将在New Image Art举办一场名为"Transitions"的个人艺术展览，展览将于2013年6月1日正式开放。
Transitions Chad Muska Art Show
Transistions不仅仅描绘了滑手在碗池，板场，Ramp里的动作，还体现出了滑板这种生活方式在各地周游，到处旅行的性质
Chad说：“这场展会对我来说意味着很多东西，关于我在生活中的挣扎，关于后来我成为Pro，关于我这一生所做的事情。Transition是所有人都可以理解的，不管你滑板与否，不过它却与滑板的精髓息息相关，那就是用你的意志和信念让这世界变得更好，一个没有过渡的世界是平淡无趣的。
Chad的新艺术种类似乎和他的涂鸦，麦糊相差甚远，新的艺术品是由小而重的铁块，混凝土块和其他一些工业废料做成的，散发着浓烈的Mark Rothko, Richard Serra,Anselm Keifer的风格。严肃而不失活跃，与滑板的旅行相呼应。
”对于滑手们来说，他们看到的绝对是艺术品，只不过我现在用的是金属和混凝土，而不是画布，这非常有趣，不过我之所以这些材料，因为我这一辈子都路边的水泥地上滑着。“Muska说
艺术展将从6月1日开始直到6月22号
New Image Art is pleased to announce “Transitions,” the first solo show from professional skateboarder, designer, and artist, Chad Muska. “Transitions” opens at New Image Art on Saturday 06/01/13.
The title of Chad’s first show, “Transitions,” is a word that not only stems from the curved surfaces skateboarders ride on in pools, parks, and ramps, but it’s also a reference to the skateboard lifestyle which is defined by movement from place to place, and from one state of mind to the next.
“The show represents a lot to me,” Chad said. “It’s about the struggles I’ve been going through in life and what’s next after being a pro skater, something that I’ve done my whole life. Transition is a universal idea that everyone can relate to whether you skate or not, but it’s strongly connected to the roots of skateboarding which is about bending the world to your will and making it ridable—a world without transition is a world that is dull and flat.”
Chad’s new style appears at first to be a huge departure from the graffiti and wheat paste art he’s been known for in skateboarding for years. These new minimal pieces are heavy and stark, constructed from steel, concrete, and other industrial materials, and contain elements that are redolent of Mark Rothko, Richard Serra, and Anselm Keifer. They’re serious, yet they retain a playfulness that speaks directly to the mind of a skateboarder—there’s a movement and a work-in-progress element throughout the show that echoes the spirit of skateboarding which has always been a lifestyle devoted to the journey, not the destination.
“Skateboarders, look at metal and concrete already as objects of artistic expression,” Chad said. “It’s like a canvas. And now the mediums that I’m using are metal and concrete. It’s so funny, but that’s why I think I’m attracted to these materials: because I’ve spent my entire life looking at the concrete sidewalk that I’m riding down.”
The opening reception for “Transitions” is at New Image Art on Saturday 06/01/13 and runs until 06/22/13
