Supreme's linking up with George Condo for a skateboard deck release that's dropping next week. For those unfamiliar, Condo's been a fixture in the New York art scene since the early '80s, coming up alongside heavyweights like Basquiat and Schnabel. His work sits in this weird space he calls "Artificial Realism"—basically portraiture that pulls from everything from Greek mythology to Playboy magazines, resulting in these darkly comedic, slightly unsettling paintings that have defined his three-decade career.
The collaboration features a series of three limited edition decks showcasing Condo's distinctive style. It's a solid pairing considering both Supreme and Condo share that New York DNA and an appreciation for blending high and low culture references.
Release details:
- Drops May 6th in-store and online (US/EU)
- May 8th in Japan
