Bird-Flipping Board Sculptures (UPDATE)

The Newest Haroshi Installation is Very in-Your-Face

— January 13, 2012 — Art & Design
Haroshi art is something skateboard enthusiasts and art lovers alike have come to look forward to,

Japanese artist Haroshi works on truly unconventional mediums when exploring his artistic side. For those who are unaware, this artist uses recycled skateboards to form stunning sculptures. Some of his past pieces include an arm, a guitar, a dog's head and now, a beautiful piece depicting the middle finger.

Thus, Haroshi art is not only impeccable done and pop culture-savvy, but speaks on behalf of a generation of unapologetic, misunderstood misfits. The pieces displayed in this Haroshi art gallery are part of the HUF, Haroshi and DLX collaboration. These colorful, rainbow-like carvings formed from skateboard scraps will inspire many artists to explore recycled and used materials.
Trend Themes
1. Recycled Skateboard Art - There is a growing trend of artists exploring the use of recycled skateboard decks as a medium for their art, presenting opportunities for companies to invest in manufacturing, distribution, and marketing PCB-based art pieces.
2. Unconventional Mediums in Art - Artists like Haroshi are pushing the boundaries of what we traditionally consider as art mediums, opening up new avenues for innovation in materials science, marketing, and advertising, and fashion.
3. Pop Culture-inspired Art - Works of art inspired by pop culture are attracting younger and tech-savvy audiences, creating opportunities for media companies, musicians, and entertainment brands to collaborate with artists and showcase their brands through art events.
Industry Implications
1. Art Supplies - Companies that produce and sell art supplies from unconventional materials can capitalize on the growing trend of recycled and unconventional art mediums.
2. Entertainment - Entertainment companies and brands can collaborate with pop culture-inspired artists to create unique fan experiences and reach younger audiences.
3. Fashion - Fashion companies can explore innovative ways to integrate recycled skateboard decks into their products, creating a new niche market and attracting environmentally-conscious customers.
