Singapore witnessed the convergence of art, innovation, and philanthropy at the recent Rice Ball 2024 charity auction, where Scorpio Electric Pte. Ltd. (“Scorpio Electric”), the nation’s pioneer electric motorcycle manufacturer, joined forces with Wild Rice and urban artist ANTZ to unveil a unique masterpiece – The W!ld One.
The unveiling of The W!ld One marked a momentous occasion in the realm of collaborative artistry, showcasing the fruitful partnership between Scorpio Electric, Wild Rice, and ANTZ. Inspired by Scorpio Electric’s X1 electric motorcycle and the ethos of design excellence, the artwork boasts an asymmetrical design featuring Chalk White and Wild Rice Red hues, paying homage to Singapore’s national flag.
Each color embodies a distinct essence: the Chalk White represents simplicity and purity, while the Wild Rice Red exudes vibrancy and energy, adorned with captivating graffiti-style artwork. ANTZ’s depiction of The Monkey King and the Chinese character “玩” (wán), meaning “play” or theatre, infuse the piece with playful symbolism, echoing the event’s theme and celebrating Scorpio Electric’s Founder Advisor, Melvin Goh’s zodiac animal.
Crafted upon Scorpio Electric’s X1 Pre-Production Prototype electric motorcycle, The W!ld One encapsulates the spirit of pioneering collaboration, innovation, and creativity. A testament to the entrepreneurial vision shared by ANTZ, Scorpio Electric, and Wild Rice, it stands as a future collectible for art enthusiasts and motorcycle aficionados alike.
The auction of The W!ld One at the Rice Ball 2024 charity event garnered an impressive total of S$20,888, underscoring the enthusiastic support for this groundbreaking collaboration.
All proceeds from the sale of the masterpiece will be directed towards Wild Rice, a distinguished professional theatre company and registered charity in Singapore, furthering their mission to enrich the local arts and culture scene.
