Artisit Haroshi Constructs Techicolor Sculptures Using Old Skateboards
Malika Renee Butss — December 12, 2013 — Art & Design
Japanese artist Haroshi has turned his love for the popular past time skateboarding into beautiful sculptures.
Ever since his younger years, artist Haroshi has always been fond of skateboarding and was an avid boarder. His love for the ride has inspired his art works ever since then and he has been turning the influence into upcycled abstract sculptures. Using broken and unusable decks, this amazing artist assembles layers to create his sculptures like the wooden mosaic formed in three dimensions of color pixels. Each element of his work is either cut out in different shapes or is kept in their original form and shaven to form the final masterpiece.
To this very day Haroshi skates and uses his artwork to express his love for skate culture.
