What's up

Conseptual: Ryan Townley How many times have you sat on hold or bored at your barista job and used your fingers to skate the edge of the counter in front of you? Or sat in class finger skating your textbook and thinking, ‘fuck, this would be a perfect ledge if it were me-sized’? How many times has Ryan Townley finished coating a collage in resin and thought, ‘shit, me, Ryan Townley, artist and professional skateboarder, would really like to skate this thing if only it were a thousand times larger,’? We have no idea, but we assume it’s a lot. In Conseptual, an art and skateboarding partnership between Monster Children and Cons, Townley may be the first and only skater to feel that satisfaction. 'Skate Art' is historically full of metaphors and abstractions and ‘oh hey yeah a bench made out of a deck… alright then... cool’, and that's all well and good, but we are literal people here, and by literally upscaling one of Townley’s resin-coated collages into a three-dimensional, transformable, skateable sculpture, we apply the versatility of Townley’s skateboarding to his art, and apply the featured terrains of his art to his skateboarding. Conseptual is the collision of art and skateboarding in the realest way, simultaneously a work of art and a Philly step; a sculpture to be admired and a pyramid to be ollied over. Watch Townley’s process from resin to blunt slide now.
