Description

We are thrilled to introduce Musart's exclusive original collection, Musart on Decks, which showcases limited edition skateboard decks featuring timeless masterpieces that bridge the gap between the rich history of art and the vibrant skateboarding culture. These remarkable pieces are offered at accessible prices, allowing art enthusiasts and skateboarders to appreciate and engage with these iconic works.

As part of Musart's original collection, we are excited to present a limited edition of 100 Brandalised Skateboard Triptychs inspired by the enigmatic street artist Banksy and his renowned work, Grey Ghost.

In 2008, following the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans, Banksy visited the city to leave his unique brand of social and political commentary on the hurricane and its profound effects on the local culture. However, he encountered a formidable adversary known as the Grey Ghost. Fred Radtke, also known as the Grey Ghost, was an anti-graffiti artist who had made it his mission to erase every trace of graffiti in the city long before Banksy's arrival. Armed with his grey paint roller, he would swiftly cover any unauthorized artwork he encountered. Two years later, only one Banksy piece managed to escape the grey paint roller, and that was because it was protected behind plexiglass. Interestingly, the Grey Ghost himself became the subject of some of Banksy's New Orleans works, depicted as a stooped figure erasing color from the city's walls.

This captivating story serves as the inspiration for our limited edition Brandalised Skateboard Triptychs, paying homage to Banksy's artistry and his encounter with the Grey Ghost. These triptychs capture the essence of Banksy's thought-provoking work and the resilience of artistic expression in the face of adversity.

Musart is delighted to bring this unique collection to art enthusiasts and skateboarders, allowing them to connect with Banksy's powerful message and the spirit of New Orleans. With Musart on Decks, we celebrate the fusion of art and skateboarding culture, offering a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of contemporary art history.

    Banksy

    While to this day the person known as Banksy is yet to be identified, we can still understand and chart much of the person’s history and repertoire. Banksy began their artwork in 1990 as a freehand graffiti artist, under the umbrella Crew of the Bristol DryBreadZ. Inspired by a plethora of local street artists and interested in breaking into the underground scene, Banksy was heavily influenced by local talents such as the artists Nick Walker, Inkie, and 3D. Around this time and while tagging many areas around Bristol, Banksy met the photographer Steve Lazarides who would become Banksy’s agent. Lazarides would take this opportunity to sell Banksy’s art through his various channels. Utilizing these stencils for their artwork, Banksy has made numerous pieces that are scattered around the UK, all of which usually contain an anti-war, anti-establishment, or anti-capitalist message. Their work endures to this day, and Banksy continually presents their art around the world not only in street art form but also with galleries and exhibitions.
