Rider and MOTTILAA collaborate on an artsy edition of the R86

Feb 23, 2019

-

After collaborations with Bolovo and Diet Starts Monday, Rider continues its urban line with another unprecedented partnership.

The carioca Felipe Motta, better known as MOTTILAA, is the graphic artist behind the line titled Skindo Lele, inspired by Brazilian Carnival and reinforcing the national identity of the brand. Having settled in urban culture since the 80s, MOTTILAA has had a passion for skateboarding since he was 10 years old and is self-taught in the field of art.


“I used obvious and non-obvious elements of the carnival to describe situations that arise, stored in the memory of those who enjoy this holiday, mentioning various places in the country, such as the costume “Bate-bola” from Rio de Janeiro; and “Caboclo Lanceiro” from Pernambuco. All of this gives the idea of something non-linear and heterogeneous, like Brazilian culture. I was quite pleased with the result”
