In Cosmic Rider, Claire Laurent depicts a seated figure dressed in a racing jacket dominated by logos and contrasting colors. The eye is immediately drawn to the structure of the garment and the rhythm of its surface. The body seems to recede behind the clothing, allowing the outfit itself to become the main subject of the composition.
The influence of motorsport and streetwear converges in a study of posture and identity. The jacket functions as both armor and signal, turning the figure into a visual emblem where brand, attitude, and self-image merge. The controlled palette of red, black, and white reinforces the work’s graphic tension while maintaining a sense of restraint and clarity.
Through this precise and formal construction, Claire Laurent explores how clothing and visual codes can shape presence, transforming representation into a study of contemporary aesthetics.
