NOTES:

From the personal collection of Maripol, this snowboard brings Jean-Michel Basquiat’s powerful visual language into a functional and collectible format.

The design showcases Basquiat’s characteristic raw energy through bold, expressive brushstrokes, fragmented figures, and layered, dynamic compositions that echo the intensity of his early 1980s paintings. The artwork blends graffiti-inspired mark-making with deep cultural references rooted in African-American and Caribbean heritage, transforming the snowboard into both a rideable surface and a striking piece of art.
