Behind Boards is about the people hiding behind skateboards design. Artists, designers & handymen, letâs see what push them up to create real piece of art!
TheDailyBoard:Â Hello Chantal, who are you for real?
Chantal Tanchal:Â Someone really motived, to do too much things at once.
TDB:Â When did you started pokerwork on boards? And why?Â
CT:Â I started around two years ago when my mother showed me her woodburning tool. I had no recollection of having already done, so I wanted to try!Â
So I sanded my board, created a visual and have made ââpyrography, for a try!
TDB:Â Speaking of that, why the support of the skateboard? You skate?Â
CT:Â Sliding sports, mainly skateboarding have always appealed to me, the support has been an evidence. I donât really ride, saying that I âgoâ in skate (longboard) would be more suitable!
TDB:Â Today, what is your primary motivation for all this?
CT:Â IÂ always take pleasure in asking me about a project that takes me a lot of time, and pyrography remains a technique that I particularly like.Â
And, right now, I am working on commands so itâs nice to talk to the client and to find a compromise between what he wants and what I want.
TDB:Â How do you manage to develop a concept that sends? And what inspires you?Â
CT:Â Iâm not delirious to do things that everyone gonna like. I do what I love but I donât have a process to have a maximum audience. We clearly see fashion in pictures also and it doesnât interest me at all.Â
Regarding the inspiration, it can be everything and anything. I stop at a lot of different thingsâŠ
TDB:Â I saw that you were recently exposed, what does it feel like?
CT:Â Itâs nice to be able to show his work to a different audience, but quite stressful at times. I am not at all at ease at an opening.
TDB:Â Among all boards you made, what is the one that best defines you?
CT:Â None of them defines me specifically, they all have something I like.
TDB:Â What are your future plans / ideas?
CT: Weâre just reassemble a small collective with four friends, that is called âHoly Cheapâ. We works on skate events, exhibitions are planned shortly and screen printing projects, short itâs pretty gnarly!
Iâm always super motivated to learn about other techniques and materials, I love it, so from here Iâm never short of ideasâŠ
TDB:Â A big thank you to you, and never lose that motivation!
