THE LB PROJECT "JACOB OVGREN" Filmed/Edited: Corentin Bertau Produced: Lucas Beaufort
This interview based scenario plunges us into the world of Swedish artist, Jacob Ovgren. A consistent and loyal contributor to Polar Skate Co.'s art department has made Ovgren somewhat of a household name amongst skateboarders globally. Where many are familiar with Jacob's work, most are unfamiliar with the man behind the graphic. This provides an in depth look at the creative process and artistic decisions made by Jacob and how his style as an illustrator has progressed over time. We learn about the controversy of some of his board designs and how they stem from childhood humour, following his ongoing pursuit of laughter and offence, all whilst situated in comfort of his office space in Malmo. The LB Project brings forth budding photographers and artists with a mutual love of skateboarding, collectively aiding the support of globally renowned, Harold Hunter Foundation. A fascinating insight for those keen to learn more about the artwork they scratch off.
