ED TEMPLETON FOR BEAUTIFUL LOSERS
Ed Templeton is a painter, photographer, writer and collagist. The former skateboard world champion also creates designs for his skateboard company, Toy Machine. The recurrent themes of Templeton’s work are adolescence and teenage life in what he calls the ‘suburban domestic incubator’. He portrays and documents the quotidian existences and social worlds of teenagers with the topics that interest them most: skateboarding, drugs, love and sex. His images perfectly illustrate the brutal alienation of teenage life.
Circleculture Gallery Berlin is proud to show his art work from April 9th to May 30th 2009 together with Barry McGee and Raymond Pettibon.
