Cornerstore Marquise Henry Reddi Wip Skateboard Deck by DGK: A Statement in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
The Cornerstore Marquise Henry Reddi Wip Skateboard Deck by DGK, released in 2021, is a powerful fusion of sports culture and visual art. Created as part of DGK’s Cornerstore series, this limited edition deck brings together the raw, unfiltered energy of street skating with the visual punch of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Sized at 8.25 inches wide by 32 inches long, with a 14.25-inch wheelbase, medium concave, and steep kick, the deck is made in Mexico using high-quality wood that caters to both collectors and skaters alike. The artwork features a stylized whipped cream can design, a parody of the iconic Reddi Wip can, with a twist of satire and cultural commentary that DGK is known for. Centered on the phrase Quise’s Whip, the design nods to professional skater Marquise Henry while cleverly referencing themes of indulgence, hustle, and the pursuit of cash in urban skate life.
Visual Identity and Cultural Messaging in the Deck Design
The design of the Reddi Wip deck functions as more than a simple branding homage. It operates on the language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, borrowing from consumer culture to comment on the commodification of identity and skateboarding itself. With whipped cream rendered with googly eyes and piles of dollar bills beneath it, the message is both playful and sharp. The can is emblazoned with catchphrases like All Day and Always on Top, which serve as tongue-in-cheek affirmations rooted in skate hustle culture. Marquise Henry’s presence on the board grounds the product in authenticity, reflecting his real influence on street skating and urban fashion. The exaggerated parody of a grocery store product becomes a powerful symbol when placed in the context of the street, transforming everyday visual references into cultural signals that challenge and engage the viewer.
Skateboard as a Canvas for Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
The use of skate decks as platforms for fine art has gained prominence within both contemporary street culture and the art world. This DGK board embraces that movement, turning a functional sports object into a collectible art piece. Printed on wood, the graphic utilizes bold colors, satirical typography, and character-driven elements to elevate the work beyond traditional branding. Skateboards like the Reddi Wip edition represent a fusion of physical performance and cultural expression, where the streets serve as both gallery and testing ground. DGK, founded by Stevie Williams, has consistently pushed these boundaries, offering products that reflect not only aesthetic tastes but also the values and struggles of the communities they represent.
Limited Edition Object and Relevance in Modern Art
As a limited edition 2021 print, this skateboard deck captures a moment in modern street art and skate history. With its unique design and connection to pro skater Marquise Henry, the Reddi Wip deck is more than just equipment. It becomes a curated art object, collectible and expressive of a lifestyle rooted in rebellion, perseverance, and style. Made with precision and integrity, the deck bridges skate functionality with the spirit of urban art commentary. The use of parody and consumer reference aligns it closely with the ethos of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, transforming a commercial parody into a powerful statement piece that stands tall in the overlapping worlds of art, design, and skateboarding culture.
