On our third episode, we speak with artist Jules DE BALINCOURT.

From the drought-ridden pools of California, to the ivy-curtains of Costa Rica, Jules De Balincourt’s premiere collection with THE SKATEROOM comprises four limited, hand-signed editions and one unique, original artwork on skateboard art pieces. Running alongside the famed Brussels Gallery Weekend, this event features a bespoke scenography and the presence of the artist himself. See if you can spot him. He’s around here somewhere. The collection comprises four limited edition, hand-signed artworks on skateboards: Ex Pats Ticos & Gringos, New Arrivals, Idol Hands and Looking For An Enlightened Cowboy. These editions come in the form of a pentaptych, two triptych and solo respectively. Alongside this, Jules De Balincourt releases an original, never before seen artwork, painted directly onto a skateboard. This unique piece is available to purchase at the event, until it’s not.

THE GOOD STUFF.
