VOLCOM PRESENTS : FLOWERS OF HOPE.
Rethink, Rebuild, Relieve : Time to breathe again ! Flowers of Hope is the prodigal result of Volcom and Featured Artist Bob Mollema collaboration. Painter, illustrator, black metal musician, Bob grew up surrounded by nature in the middle of Netherlands woods. Art wizard, his contribution to our fall collection channels the naive styles of archaic people into Volcom’s effort to positively stimulate the post-cataclysm world.
Sunburst, Paradise Pink : Flowers of Hope proclaim the encounter of earth pigments & rebelliously positioned hand-drawn pieces. A unique collection screaming for a new approach upon the monolithic codes of streetwear. Loosen up and witness the blooming of a new hope.
BOB MOLLEMA
Bennekom 1990, works as an illustrator, artist, and musician.
He mainly works on large projects where humanity, absurdity, desire, and dishonesty are central.
These elements form a cocktail that results in critical, sometimes humorous, illustrations that make people think. Because of his wide-ranging interests, he touches on different themes and makes them his own. A recurring theme is archaic Europe and the way people spiritually dealt with nature. Their way of living with nature is something he finds inspiring and tries to convey to his audience through his art. He does this by incorporating the often naive and pure style of the archaic peoples into his art.
He mainly works with graphite and eraser because the roughness, coincidence, margin of error & the analogue aspect are in keeping with his search for purity and authenticity. It is an act of rebellion against the uniformity that is slowly but surely devouring the world.
