    Largely Rooted in the do-it-yourself subculture of skateboarding, a new generation of artist, one who identifies with the iconoclastic lifestyle and counter-culture stance of these creative forces has emerged. The unifying trait of these five exhibiting artists is the study of cultural trends that inform their work.
