The Bicycle - Montage Cubist Artwork

The Bicycle. ^ Click on Prints (next to where it says Original) to see the print details ^ Delightful memories of riding, touring and maintaining my bicycle over the years were the inspiration for this picture. Following cubist principles, the picture is made up from several parts of a bicycle seen from different viewpoints. My artwork explores the cross-overs between photography, collage, digital art and cubist paintings as a way of capturing memories and imagination. The pictures are created using a pen and ink style digitally, based upon my own photographs, and are printed with high-definition inks on stretched canvas. I chose to separate the parts, rather see the cycle as a whole since in real life we tend to look at each part in turn. The picture flows from left to right with a wheel entering the frame from the left and a pedal crank in different positions to give a sense of motion. Coloured stripes in the background represent different locations and tapering spots have been used to give a false sense of perspective and a homage to cycle racing events. Expressionist and cubist principles like abstraction, fragmentation and false colour have been used to help the viewer imagine the scene, rather than pictorial realism characteristic of traditional photographs.
