True to This — The boardsports lifestyle brand will host an art show in Biarritz to celebrate the Dutch illustrators’ second capsule collection.
Action sports clothing and lifestyle brand Volcom has teamed up with Bob Mollema for the latest in its Featured Artist Series.
The clothing capsule collection features his bold cartoon illustrations printed on top of t‑shirts, jackets, shorts, shirts and more, in a range of colours from black and white to bright green.
It marks the second time that the Dutch illustrator has created a collection for Volcom as part of the series, with the brand hosting a live show at Atabal in Biarritz today (May 21) to celebrate, featuring live art making, band performances and more.
Born in Bennekom in 1990, Mollema’s work draws inspiration from ancient mythology and nature, while blending them with modern techniques.
In a 2022 interview with Wasted Talent Magazine, which followed his first series for Volcom, Mollema said: “I care a lot about nature, and I am into pop culture, reading and making music.
“My work and music consist of endless references and associations that originate from images, mythology, history or pop culture,” he continued. “That is also one of my convictions; as artists, we must build on each other and bread down our walls. Art, in whatever form, is vital to the world and our relationship with the unknown. Art is blood cells for the world!”
Founded in 1991, Volcom has grown to become a leading brand across surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding. It became the first action sports company to set up a record label in 1995, Volcom Entertainment.
