Ook de skateboard-cultus van de jaren 80 is een bron van inspiratie voor Vaast Colson.

Hij is voortdurend bezig met het cre\u0026euml;ren van artistieke rollen, personages voor zichzelf. Met het werk\u0026nbsp;\u003cem\u003eNo more superheroes\u0026nbsp;\u003c/em\u003elijkt de kunstenaar de rollen die hij zich toemeet te willen distanti\u0026euml;ren van de heldendaden uit de hoogdagen van het modernisme. De personages van Colson zijn inderdaad zelden tragisch of dramatisch. Zijn performances of interventies lijken soms nergens toe te leiden en ademen zelfs soms verveling uit.
