▷ Trotinette by Laurent Messager, 2025 | Mixed Media Painting Sale

Artist’s Statement: “Scooter This 2025 canvas synthesizes the artist’s previous periods by revisiting the urban inspiration and deconstructuralist style of the most recent portrait series, but this time focusing on a full-length figure. The harmony of pink, blue, and gray colors and the background landscape create a calming effect that contrasts with the movement effects of the face and the multiplication of the girl’s arms and legs on her scooter.”

This captivating artwork presents a lively scene where a central figure, dressed in casual, sporty clothing, stands on a scooter. The vibrant colors and meticulous details immediately draw the eye. Pink and blue hues dominate, lending a dynamic dimension to the composition. In the background, a coastal landscape with trees and a beach suggests a relaxed, summery atmosphere. Movement is captured with brilliant technique, reflected in the folds of the clothing and the figure’s carefree attitude. The exaggerated features and almost cartoonish style add a touch of humor and irony to the whole. The artist manages to combine an everyday scene with exceptional artistic execution, making this work a unique and memorable piece.
