THE STORY
In Boschkätzchen: Road Runners, two sharply dressed cats take to the streets on a roaring motorcycle, embodying rebellion, freedom, and a touch of mischief. Their confident expressions and vintage attire transform the ride into more than just a journey—it becomes a spectacle of style, defiance, and camaraderie.
The bustling urban backdrop contrasts with the feline riders’ carefree spirit, while the chaotic, smaller figures beneath hint at society’s struggles and the wild unpredictability of life. Much like their pub-performing counterparts, these cats are more than playful characters, they are symbols of independence, daring to break away from the ordinary.
With bold colors and whimsical details, the piece captures the thrill of the open road, inviting viewers to embrace adventure, humor, and the untamed joy of living outside the rules.
