Skaters

An exploration with the iconic Vans skate shoes

Peter created a series of designs that explore the culture of skateboarding pushing it beyond the physical activity.

"Skateboarding is about much more than a person on a piece of wood, it’s about freedom, energy and community - these are all qualities you can find in this series."

Creating a pattern of skaters but removing the skateboards is a way to visualise the essence of Vans and focus on its impact on the community of skateboarding as well as the wider world, celebrating the activity which is a way of life for many and is endlessly inspirational for Peter.

The energy Peter puts into his artwork is deeply personal, yet he hopes the language it speaks is universal.

“I was the kid at the skate shop asking for stickers to decorate my board with. The series Skaters is my contribution to the community I love and that made me the creative person I am today.” - Peter
