gue transforms ravenna skatepark into a curvalinear color composition

sicilian artist marco mangione, known as gue, has transformed darsena popup’s ravenna skatepark into a dynamic, color composition. darsena popup, a sports complex at the edge of the river, is close to ravenna’s historical center. in an effort to refurbish the urban area, the installation creates a clever synthesis between the artwork and its environment.

gue’s abstract composition of colors, for the darsena popup skatepark, covers the entire park floor — adding a sensory dimension to the overall experience. the artist’s use of curvilinear lines mimic the moment of the skaters, and also highlight the features on the park’s surface — ‘offering an immediate ability to read volumes.’ this project continues gue’s experimentation with color as seen in the artist’s earlier work, a basketball court for carlo carra park in alessandria, italy.
