Fausto Gallego

Moving Forward

Inspired by the talented Songline Skateboarding crew, Moving Forward creates a skate pavilion that is inclusive and inspiring and represents artwork ideas from the local community, showcasing Fausto’s signature style of bright colours and dynamic movement.

Knox Stake and BMX park Pavillion Floor
Name: Kick Flip
Working with the YMCA, Knox City Council, "Kick Flip" emits the paths we take when choosing a course in the skate park mapping out the spaces where we'll chuck a sick trick. It is a celebration of the kid inside all of us, from scratching an artwork onto the desk at school, to grinding across the city, the artwork expresses a need to seek fun and not take life too seriously. I was able to go wild in this one and trusted to execute an artwork that gives the space new life and a punchy attitude. With signature characters, and bright pop colours Fausto aimed to elevate the space into a reflection of the community that uses it.

October 2025 - Box seat has been removed and no long part of artwork. This has been deteriorated due to weather and skateboard use. Open Spaces Team leading upgrade seating for the site.
