April 30, 2026 from 11 a.m. - Noon Abraham Dubin, better known to the international skateboarding community as Orange Man, is a professional skateboarder for the Boston-based experimental skateboard troupe Fancy Lad. Dubin, who is the exhibition advisor to "Vehicles of Expression," will speak about skateboarding as a world of pure imagination. About Abe Dubin: Having graduated from Massachusetts College of Art, Dubin is an illustrator who has come to use reality as his sketch book with himself as an all-orange-adorned living cartoon character. Orange Man, dressed in neon from head to toe, is a (literally) vibrant and vivacious entity who builds skateboards out of ordinary household objects (including fine art canvases) and creates custom skate contraptions invoking Rube Goldburg machines that contort and transform. As a youth Dubin studied theatre, drawing and painting, and begrudgingly participated in team sports. Upon receiving a fluorescent green skateboard from the used sports store, a shift occurred in which suddenly self expression seemed to harmoniously infuse with rigorous physical exertion. Parking lots became stages for balletic performance, transforming the mundane modernity of suburban life into a playground of limitless potential. Dubin has exhibited his skateboard artwork and made live demonstrations across the U.S. from the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston to galleries and skateshops in Pittsburgh, PA, Iowa, Las Vegas and Seattle. Abraham has collaborated on video projects for Adult Swim, Vice, Thrasher Magazine and Red Bull and premiered short films at the Vladimir Film Festival in Croatia. As a husband and father, Dubin’s home studio serves as a woodshop and laboratory for abstract kinetic sculptures the he and his contemporaries refer to as “board manipluations.” Deeply influenced by the Duchampian ethos of the ready-made and Jim Henson’s warm rich world of play and imagination, Abraham’s practice is one of reinterpreting everyday objects and architecture and allowing his skateboard puppetry to organically flourish.
