This artwork by JBOY features a young child riding a bright green tricycle while dressed in a striped shirt and wearing a black balaclava. The image immediately evokes a sense of playfulness mixed with an edgy, almost rebellious undertone. The combination of the child-like innocence of riding a tricycle with the stark contrast of the balaclava creates a striking juxtaposition, blending themes of mischief and innocence. The child's posture and the bright pop of green against the otherwise monochromatic background further amplify the impact of this piece.
JBOY’s characteristic style of mixing everyday childhood elements with more subversive and provocative imagery shines through in this work. The tricycle, a symbol of youth and fun, contrasts with the serious, almost criminal appearance suggested by the mask. This contrast may provoke thoughts about identity, perception, and how society often imposes roles or judgments based on appearance. The piece's clean lines and vivid details emphasize the tension between innocence and rebellion, making it a thought-provoking addition to JBOY’s collection.
About JBOY
I am JBOY. A fairly (un)known visual artist from London and sharing my ideas helps calm my hyperactive mind. Some are good, some are bad.
I'm looking forward to seeing where this journey goes.
My Inspiration comes from many places and mostly turns up at the most inconvenient time. I spent a lot of time when young stealing Gary Larson books from the library (i took them back) and then later i studied (looked at pictures) Guy Billout at art school.
Obviously at some point i accidentally stumbled into the urban art scene and have been trying to escape it ever since, but it keeps dragging me back in like a henry the hoover. Basically several sources of inspiration have led me down a very eclectic mix of styles and ideas. I just go with what feels right for the picture.
Not everything even works well visually and only ideas that i am 100% happy with are shown. A lot gets trashed (Most things). I like to do visual commentaries on anything i feel strongly about and i try to get my message across in a light hearted way.
I have a big arts background as i said already, but my proudest claim to fame is being taught technical drawing by Timmy Mallett's uncle at age 9, but things have probably gotten progressively worse ever since.
Anonymity is a choice, not for any mystical reason, but because it’s a preference. Great care and pride are taken in the delivery of work, and people who are nice are looked after.
