Contatto

Schizzo a penna nera.

This drawing is called Schascia Aperitivo, but don’t be fooled: it’s not a tribute, it’s a joke.
I drew it with a pen, freehand, like you write a joke on a napkin at the bar. The scene is simple: a stationary motorbike, a toast floating in the air, and a motorcyclist who probably wears shiny moccasins and a technical jacket that has never been soiled.

The motorbike? A BMW GS — or rather, its symbol.
I don’t have anything against it in particular (in fact, it’s a great motorbike), but against what it has become: a status symbol, an object to collect to feel like an adventurer even if you only go as far as the wine shop down the street.

Today the GS is a bit like the iPhone: everyone wants one, everyone has one, few really know what to do with it.
Once upon a time they dressed up as real motorcyclists, today you go out with a modular helmet, Bluetooth turned on, a tie under a technical jacket, and you get your “fill up on emotions” by parking in front of the bar for an aperitif.

Here, this drawing is my way of smiling at all this theater.
With affection, but also with a hint of provocation. Because the motorcycle, for me, is still dust, road, dirty hands and silence. Not an app with maps, likes on Instagram or a jacket that matches the saddle.

It is an ironic, almost satirical drawing, made only with dots and lines, but which points straight to certain modern myths on two wheels.
Because everything is fine, eh… but the tie, on a motorcycle, no.
