A Collaboration Installation by Blaine Fontana & Zach Johnsen

The Arbor Collective is proud to celebrate long time art & design contributors Blaine Fontana & Zach Johnsen, with a collaborative installation at the Timesinfinity gallery inside the evo store in Seattle. On view were 3 collaborative paintings by the artists, but the highlight of the show was a 20 ft modular installation complete with trees, birdhouses and a cast of wondrous characters. Echoing Arbor’s practice of using sustainable materials, the entire show was comprised of all reclaimed, recycled, or repurposed wood/media. Only 5 sheets of plywood were bought to create this highly involved, rich and detailed dreamy “Camp Fire” scene. Check out the making of this amazing show below.

The Arbor Collective Presents: Premium Camping At No Charge

A Collaboration Installation by Blaine Fontana & Zach Johnsen at Evo in Seattle.

Arbor celebrates longtime art and design contributors Blaine Fontana & Zach Johnsen in a night of art, up-cycling, book signings, frivolity and a furious passion for reclaimed materials for an imaginative environmental experience. Collaborating with Arbor, the artists are echoing the company’s rooted practice using sustainable materials for their products. The entire show is comprised of all reclaimed, recycled, or repurposed wood/media, only two sheets of plywood were bought to create this highly involved, rich and detailed dreamy “Camp Fire” scene.

More than half of the installation is available, making for over 60 items for sale at a wide range of prices. Fontana and Johnsen are also showing several brand new collaborative paintings made exclusively for the event.

Lastly, Fontana will be happily signing his new book “Amalgamate,” a 108 page harbound book featuring over 75 full-color plates of his recent art and design during the opening.

“We look forward to seeing all our friends and fans at the event,” says Fontana and Johnsen. “It’s going to be a great night for art and the environment.”

“Evo has been a strong supporter of Arbor Skateboards, Snowboards and Apparel,” says John Crouch, Arbor’s northwest sales representative. “This event is solid way for Arbor to get more involved with Evo while including our products, artists and friends of the collective in a unique way. Evo has created something special with their art gallery, party atmosphere and cult following that is going to make this a night to remember.”

Arbor Stories From The Road

Posted on: October 6, 2009 by admin

Sometimes the stories from the road are the best ones of all…

Blaine Fontana artwork discovered hanging on the wall at SnoCo.

“During my travels to Washington to visit shops and hang with our regional rep, John Crouch, we stopped by to see Forrest at Snowboard Connection,” says Arbor apparel manager, Drew Hopkins. “On the back wall we found a huge art piece by Blaine Fontana. I was so stoked to see Arbor dealers working with cool artists that we also work with on graphic collaborations. Blaine’s art was featured at our Venice Eco Fest opening art show in the early summer.”
