T.R.O.G. 69 (Gentlemen's Race)
"The Race of Gentlemen" (TROG) is a 201m drag race on a sandy beach, as close as possible in style and atmosphere to the American races of the 30-50s. I love this atmosphere and I love to write pictures about these races.
The painting depicts a retro competition car rushing along a smooth surface, perhaps a beach or promenade. The driver is wearing stylish goggles and a helmet, giving the scene an early 20th century feel. A red lifeguard tower can be seen in the background, contrasting with the austere black and white palette of the rest of the picture, which creates tension and dynamics. The shimmers of light on the surface of the road add a sense of speed and movement.
