A few months ago, skate pioneer and contemporary artist Mark Gonzales showed up at our London office with a head full of mad ideas.
The result was One Week, One Show, a twenty-four-hour affordable art show at our 71a Leonard St gallery featuring artwork from customised postcards to large-scale drawings, all produced in the space of a week.
Here’s the first drop of artwork, and a little behind-the-scenes footage shot by the man himself!
