Guy Pitchon
Guy Pitchon is a multidisciplinary artist focusing on street photography, graphic arts and tattoo design. Born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel, Guy has beenattracted to the youthful, angst-driven and liberal culture associated with skateboarding since his adolescence. Guy first picked up a camera at age 17, shadowing some of the world’s top skateboard photographers, and has been relentlessly documenting the unfamiliar skate spots, streets and concrete crevasses across Tel Aviv and urban/suburban Israel, all from an insider’s perspective, ever since. A graduate of Minshar School for Art in Tel Aviv (2007), Pitchon recently completed a residency with ArtPort TLV and released his first book of photography and graphic art, entitled “Love Child,” in collaboration with VANS, in April 2015.
