“Motivation”

“Motivation”, 2022, 82 x 21cm. Spray paintings, Street-art style, Recycled Skateboard Support. Mixed techniques: Aerosol, acrylic, oil, varnish.

A skate to look at several times a day and remember to hold on, never let go! To be placed in a strategic place and varied… our mind gets used to it so quickly! This composition is inspired by the paintings “Dream” & “Vibes” with a scale adapted to the support…
A game of geometry, transparencies and overprints to dress up a motivational quote made with a stencil. Everything is allowed to ride your walls!

As a direct extension of Streetart paintings on canvas, here is a first series on Skateboards… another way to dress up your walls and bring Street art into your home with original paintings made on a different medium.
After a first life crisscrossing the city, riding the ramps, surfing the asphalt… the artist offers them a more contemplative mission!
Beforehand, there is a preparation phase: stripping, sanding to find a smooth surface to paint. I voluntarily keep the traces of his former life where everyone can invent the story of this memorable figure repeated so many times until leaving a maple bend with part of the decor on the test ramp! And as much to keep the original grip with these wounds and bumps simply covered with a solid color to indicate the mutation.
These boards are for your eyes and to dress your walls!
However, if you want to ride them for a special occasion, a gala or whatever…
Ask and the artist will make you a tailor-made creation with a specific polyurethane varnish to protect the decor – possibly with the installation of a new grip.
This series is experimental, just like the rest… this change of medium is an invitation to hybridization, to the mixing of styles or writings. In the composition I open all the doors: dripping, stencils, drawing, calligraphy, aerosol, oil, tape, varnish… according to inspiration and daily discoveries.
