Artfully documenting skateboard graphics from the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, Obsession traces Kevin Lowry and his friends’ lifelong fascination with skateboarding and graphic design.
What began as a childhood interest has grown into a collection of more than 250 rare skateboards, including complete sets from iconic brands such as Alien Workshop, Habitat, Girl, and Chocolate.
Driven by nostalgia and a desire to preserve the memories and visual culture of skateboarding, Lowry has spent years tracking down individual boards and complete sets from collectors around the world. Obsession celebrates both the dedication of collecting and the enduring cultural impact of skateboard graphics.
The collection features work by influential skateboard artists including Evan Hecox, Don Pendleton, and Joe Castrucci, who transformed the skateboard deck into a canvas for distinctive visual languages and artistic expression.
