About the Artwork:
“This painting was partially inspired by an old Quebecer animated series that I really loved as a kid. It was called : «Les Voyages de Tortillard» (The Secret Railroad). It follows a young boy who would travel in a magical train around strange worlds. This series was created in the late seventies (yes, I’m this old) so it was very psychedelic and nonsensical. I wanted this painting to be like a tribute to this universe but populate it with my own creations. It goes without saying that a skateboard is the perfect shape for painting a train. And since it was made on a recycled skateboard it also supports my concerns for the ecology.” – Adeline Lamarre
