Information

Gianluca Folì, Riccardo Guasco, Francesco Poroli and the Van Orton brothers were invited to interpret aspects such as elegance, sportiness, stability and safety in four characterizing works, as mentioned, associating them with the disciplines of modern Pentathlon: horse riding, fencing, swimming and laser run. Works that involve the union, through their respective and peculiar artistic traits, of the characteristics of the new maxi scooter and the sporting ones of each discipline linked to the modern Pentathlon.

Riccardo Guasco is the first artist to reveal his work, interpreting horse riding in the discipline of show jumping, associating it with the idea of "stability", while the Van Orton brothers will deal with fencing combined with the concept of "safety"; Gianluca Folì will focus on swimming and highlight it “elegance”; then Francesco Poroli will dedicate himself to the laser run highlighting the appearance “sportsmanship”, as reported.
The work illustrated by Riccardo Guasco summarizes a harmonious symbiosis that unites Japanese symbolism, a characteristic iconography that refers to the great artists of the Asian country, placing the scooter as a connecting element. Stability as a factor in an image in which we see a horse tackling the jump of an obstacle and its elevation, a wave breaking on a coast and an acceleration phase coming out of a curve of the same scooter. As highlighted by the artist: “in a single image the power, elegance and explosiveness of a gesture.”
Suzuki thus remembers the Olympics and sport with a project that combines competitive practice and art.
The press release also highlights that the project will have a social declination, inviting interested parties to choose one work in one Reaction Challenge online. The one with the highest number of reactions will become an exclusive livery on a collectible Burgman 400.
