YOU CAN BID ON THIS MAGNIFICENT PIECE HERE:
Richard’s ‘Naive meets Pop art’ style seems to gel perfectly with Classic, colourful and fresh Vespa Brand. His art has been described as ‘Thoughts produced through objects in their simplest form with colour and purity’.
“When art and creativity meet, they are dangerous luxuries and addictive bedfellows. Without art, Vespa would be just another scooter, without creativity, Vespa would be just a stationary sculpture! It is in this mix and the discipline surrounding it that Vespa has found its longevity and strength of Brand.” – Andy Reid, owner of Vespa South Africa.
The Courage Initiative is honoured to be able to align its cause with such an amazing artist, not forgetting, the enormously generous donations of extraordinary items like: bucket list travel, adventure, fine art, food and wine, and other “nice to have” ’s.
