Sculptural artist Nigel Vmu introduces The School of Basketball, a three-panel bas-relief inspired by Raphael’s The School of Athens and you already know it's lit!
Crafted on skateboard decks, the piece features intricate sculptural details in matte black and matte white, bringing together basketball, classical art, and Nigel’s ongoing exploration of monochromatic sculpture.
The result is a unique as hell take on classical art, kind of like what EDGLRD did with their boards.
But it’s still insane, though. Congrats, Vmu!

Reimagining Raphael’s The School of Athens through basketball, this bas-relief triptych continues my exploration of all-black artworks and a growing body of work using skateboards as my canvas.
