The Skatepark

The skatepark is a place of duality, containing tranquility and chaos. It's a place where people from all walks of life meet and express themselves. This includes OG skaters, scooter kids, graffiti writers, roller skaters, crazy people, friends, random spectators, and those just hanging around. It's an unpredictable environment where people can achieve athletic excellence, practice their tricks, or they can gravely injure themselves. They can meet the best friends they've ever had or run into people they wish they'd never met. There is often music, horseplay, and camaraderie as well as noise, conflict, and loneliness. This painting is an allegoric representation of the love, chaos, community, and debauchery that happens in the skatepark, a home for unpredictable energy.
