Fashion Addict Rip Off Deck by Denial: Street Pop Art Meets Luxury Irony
Daniel Bombardier, known globally by his street name Denial, has carved a distinct position within contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork through bold commentary on consumerism, power, and branding. The 2021 Fashion Addict Rip Off Deck exemplifies this intersection by applying luxury symbolism onto an unexpected and subversive canvas: a cold pressed steep natural skateboard deck. This limited edition of 50 archival pigment print transfers, measuring 8 x 31.875 inches, released on June 26, 2021, is a direct and irreverent critique of fashion obsession and corporate idolization. By transferring iconic imagery onto a utilitarian object associated with rebellion and subculture, Denial transforms the deck into a sculptural artwork that challenges the hierarchy of high art and fashion.
The Skateboard as a Graffiti Artwork Canvas
Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork thrives on unpredictability, and Denial's use of a skateboard deck as a fine art substrate is both functional and symbolic. Skate culture, born from counterculture roots, has long rejected conventional consumer values, making it the perfect medium to host a commentary on fashion addiction. The smooth surface of the deck allows the archival pigment to render luxury-inspired visuals with sharp clarity while also contrasting with the raw, griptape-torn identity of its traditional purpose. As viewers engage with the piece, they are forced to reconcile the absurdity of a Goyard-like monogram on a surface that might never touch pavement. This tension is where Denial’s vision hits hardest.
Subverting High Fashion Through Familiar Logos
Denial’s artwork is known for its deliberate misuse of elite logos and advertising motifs. The Fashion Addict Rip Off Deck brings this strategy into a new physical form, channeling the energy of screen-printed political posters and consumer warping satire. Referencing the luxury aesthetic of French design house Goyard, the artwork features visual repetition, exaggerated branding, and flawless typographic mimicry. However, instead of glorifying the brand, it weaponizes it—offering viewers a dose of visual sarcasm on the absurd value placed on name recognition. The deck becomes a collector’s item not because of the brand it mocks, but because of the message it delivers.
Denial's Voice in the Urban Art Conversation
Daniel Bombardier has never shied away from directness in his Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This limited edition deck continues that trajectory by refusing to sanitize the relationship between identity and what we buy. Denial repurposes the iconography of elite consumer goods as a form of protest wrapped in humor and polished aesthetics. The Fashion Addict Rip Off Deck stands as a physical artifact that blends street expression, anti-capitalist sarcasm, and collectible design into one sharply executed artwork. As both an object and a message, it affirms the role of the artist as both designer and disruptor in the conversation surrounding modern visual culture.
