Skewville 🇺🇸 Wooden Sneakers • New York Street Art, by High Roller Society on Mar 15, 2011 19:27:05 GMT 1, Think both us and Factory Fresh posted about this, but here's the info again



“Slow Your Roll”: a term commonly used by Skewville to keep themselves in check.

Brooklyn-based street art duo Skewville return to London next week to kick up a fuss with new works that stay true. Known for their fake wooden sneakers--painted and laced-up wooden cut outs of trainers--real life brothers Ad and Droo have graced thousands of lampposts & electrical lines around the world in their creative wake. From 19 March-24 April, Skewville's latest tracks lead to High Roller Society for their first UK solo show.
Growing up in the underground New York Art Scene was all about respect and paying your dues. After a decade of deviance, Skewville is as well known for their creative, aggressive questioning of this popular street art culture as they are for being a monumental part of it with their wooden sneaker mission. The growing popularity of this art movement has made Skewville check itself, always remembering why they started in the first place. Just as street art began as a way of reclaiming space from the advertising that had overrun it, Skewville reclaims the gallery space to communicate its thoughts on the loss of a counter-culture and the rise of consumerism. In a constant self-battle to not “Sell Out” while maintaining success in the art world, Skewville presents... “Slow Your Roll”. Featuring selected artwork from previous years that will showcase the classic Skewville Style along with new paintings and sculptures that reveal their dedication to steadily evolving that Skewville Aesthetic.
