Internationally renowned Cape Town artist, Richard Scott has chosen the iconic Vespa as the focal point of his latest exhibition, Joyride. An explosion of positive energy, the exhibit’s bold, contemporary artworks pop with colour as they explore the concept of joy as art.
Scott’s series of paintings, prints and original sketches are based on a photo shoot with models Brigitte Williers, Ryan Botha and a bright red Vespa. The exhibition was opened in December last year at the Caltex Centre at the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, and is still open.
“Art in its creative sense is also freedom. In this world, there is an acute difference between what we think freedom is and what it should be. Let’s re-evaluate our freedoms and learn to enjoy without bias. Get on that scooter, feel the wind on your body,” said Vespa SA director, Andy Reid. Word, Andy.
