In 1998, during the seventh stage of his world tour in Vietnam, Hervé Di Rosa experimented with ceramics and gave birth to a collection of seven “means of transport.” Among the tank and the steamroller emerged his favorite vehicle: the Bolide Grotesque.
This 2025 resin edition is an exceptional reproduction of the original work. It is presented in a luxurious case, accompanied by a Fine Art print depicting the “Bolide” within the artist’s prolific universe.
The Bolide Grotesque is a tribute to this nomadic energy. Di Rosa blends his iconic characters with his taste for popular objects. Every curve, every hand-painted detail restores the vitality of his work and the total freedom of his gesture.
Every detail and every stroke conveys the humor and visual power of this extraordinary artist. This edition celebrates collective imagination and pushes the boundaries between genres. True to the “Art Modeste” (Modest Art) philosophy, this piece does not merely inhabit the space: it brings it to life through its vibrant presence and unique character.
“Modest art is not small art. It is the world next to art. An art that does not seek to be immortal, but wants to be alive.”
Hervé Di Rosa
