Lick 은 에드 템플턴이 수년간 찍은 사진들 중 일부를 담고 있는 것으로, 누군가가 어떤 식으로든 무언가를 핥는 모습을 담고 있다. 에드 템플턴(Ed Templeton)은 미국의 프로 스케이트보더, 현대 예술가, 사진작가다. 그는 스케이트보드 회사인 토이 머신의 설립자이며, 그가 계속 소유하고 경영하고 있다. 템플턴은 캘리포니아 헌팅턴 해변에 기반을 두고 있으며, 2016년 스케이트보드 명예의 전당에 헌액되었다. 사진, 그림, 드로잉을 제작하는 에드 템플턴은 "내가 어떤 모자를 쓰고 있느냐에 따라 나는 스케이트보더, 예술가 또는 사업가가 될 수 있습니다."라고 말한다. 그는 1985년에 스케이트보드를 타기 시작했고, 1990년대 초에서 중반까지 스케이트를 전문적으로 타기 위해 자신만의 스케이트보드 회사를 설립했다. 1994년, 그는 자신이 속한 스케이트보드 서브 컬처를 기록하기 위해 카메라를 들고 예술적 경력을 시작했다. 그는 주로 캘리포니아 헌팅턴 비치의 사람들과 거리 생활에 대한 흑백 사진으로 유명하지만 그의 작업에는 아내의 친밀한 초상화 시리즈와 교외 지역에 초점을 맞춘 절제된 그림 모음도 포함되어 있다.

Lick is an archival look at some of Ed Templeton’s images taken over the years featuring some one licking something in one way or another. Ed Templeton is an American professional skateboarder, contemporary artist, and photographer. He is the founder of the skateboard company, Toy Machine, a company that he continues to own and manage. He is based in Huntington Beach, California. Templeton was inducted into the Skateboard Hall of Fame in 2016. “Depending on what hat I’m wearing, I’m a skateboarder, an artist, or a businessman,” says Ed Templeton, who produces photographs, paintings, and drawings. He began skateboarding in 1985 and went on to found his own skateboard company and to skate professionally from the early to mid-1990s. In 1994, he picked up a camera to document the skateboarder subculture he was a part of—and began his artistic career. Though he is primarily known for his black-and-white photographs of the people and street life of Huntington Beach, Calif., his work also includes a series of intimate portraits of his wife and an understated suite of paintings focused on suburbia. As the artist explains, all of his subjects come from his own life: “Everything I’ve ever shot has just been on the path that I’ve been on, be it skating or travel or street photography.
