THE SKATEROOM presents "Both Poles" by Jean-Michel Basquiat, a triptych artwork displayed on three natural maple skateboard decks. Basquiat's 1982 "Both Poles" piece dramatically combines contrasting concepts such as past and present, earth and sky, and memory and transmission. The original painting's symbolic mountains, moon depictions, and energetic symbols are transferred onto three natural maple decks, creating a powerful visual narrative and an artistic object that reflects street culture.
