The Most podcast - Episode 79 - Ed Templeton

American artist and skateboarding hall-of-famer Ed Templeton reunites with Dominique Nzeyimana at Tim Van Laere Gallery Antwerp a decade after they last sat down together. As Ed’s new show ‘The Sprawl’ opens at this esteemed gallery, the pair discuss a modern legacy carved out of skate culture and fine art.

On this episode, Ed discusses the balance between practicality and artistry in building an immersive art show.

He explains how honest conversations with Tim Van Laere led to a year of honing his artistic vision for this new expo and what giving people the ‘full Templeton experience’ means.

Ed also opens up about life growing up, the outer/inner wounds that shaped his art and how founding his brand Toy Machine gave him the freedom to pursue his vision on his own terms.

Ed Templeton’s journey from world champion athlete to respected fine artist and tongue-in-cheek ‘benevolent overlord’ has influenced not only the art world but generations of peers - writing a new blueprint for life after going pro.
