Interpretation of the work by the artist:
Scene representing the leader in the yellow jersey during a Tour de France. I love cycling. I wanted to represent all the intensity of a group of cyclists who fight hard in very difficult conditions. Everyone in their bubble must go to the end of their resources to overcome adversity and achieve their goals.
Riders on the storm - René Bégin
René Bégin's intention from the start was to bring a story to life through his works. Telling strong moments, common emotions as well as everyday scenes, his works shed as much light on moments of sports and urban history as on simple cultural and social life.
After several years of experimentation and stylistic research, he has developed a new and unusual pictorial technique with field hockey tape on wood panel that is suitable for the sports scene but also for any other context.
