Original Artwork

Inclusion of colored paper in a concrete base, handmade by the artist in France.

Benjamin SABATIERs limited collection manifests clearly the critical issue between the concrete material, tertiary activity and the practice of skateboarding. The artist used concrete to produce skateboard art decks which humorously reconsider questions of social utopias and the failures of modernity, which are often present in his work. The fragments of administrative colored paper, crushed and encrusted on the surface of the boards, were collected from the floor of SABATIERs studio allowing him to paint directly with the “color of the economy”.
