“Hermès Skateboard” by French artist Ian Philip is an evocative fusion of street culture and high fashion that commands attention. Born in 1986, Philip has carved a unique path in the art world, drawing inspiration from diverse art movements, particularly pop art and comics.

This piece is a full-size skateboard deck adorned with the iconic Hermès logo, bringing an unexpected twist to this symbol of luxury. The deck is split in coloration, with black covering the bottom part and Hermès’ signature orange gracing the tip. The black logo on the orange area adds a striking contrast, and the overall design encapsulates Philip’s playful yet thoughtful aesthetic.

A self-taught artist with a background in graphic design and interior decoration, Philip spent a decade on the Côte d’Azur, where his work found favor among wealthy yacht owners. Today, he focuses on a more personal practice, engaging with his followers on social media and offering bespoke creations through his collaboration with The Art Dose. This skateboard is a reflection of this journey, combining his love for pop culture, his familiarity with luxury aesthetics, and his talent for making everyday objects extraordinary.
