Robert Mars is a former skateboarder, the design director of streetwear label Zoo York, and a visual artist who -- for the past ten years -- has been documenting in his fine art work parts of Americana that are quickly fading. His unique spirit and energy reflects a love for the freedom and DIY ethic that infuses the skating world at its best, a connection to contemporary trends, a poetic sensibility and a fine-grained knowledge of a distinct facet of American history. His work is exhibited with the likes of Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and Robert Rauschenberg, and has been shown worldwide including galleries in Munich, Tokyo, Amsterdam, London, Australia, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Laguna Beach, Atlanta, Aspen, and Naples.
