Jester on Wheels

Jester on Wheels captures a moment of playful energy and confident balance, bringing to life a spirited figure in mid-performance. The central character—a monkey dressed in a tailored ensemble of rich reds, deep blues, and a vibrant green bow tie—rides a unicycle with poised arms outstretched, exuding both control and joyous abandon. The tongue playfully sticking out adds a subtle touch of whimsy, inviting viewers to share in the light-heartedness of the scene.

The composition is anchored by a bright yellow background, punctuated with an array of colourful spheres that enhance the sense of movement and celebration. Executed in acrylic on an aluminium panel, the smooth surface and sharply contoured edges contribute to the artwork’s polished and distinctive presence.

This piece speaks to moments when skill meets spontaneity, and the unexpected blend of character and colour encourages a fresh, imaginative perspective. It invites an embrace of curiosity and fun, reminding us that talent and joy often go hand in hand in the art of playful performance
