There is the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. The Art of Riding. And Motorcycles as Mechanized Rolling Art. Particularly Italian motos.
And few would disagree that Valentino Rossi riding a motorcycle is art in motion.
(I am a Casey Stoner fan. But while the sheer power and raw aggression in the way he throws himself and his machines through turns and around the track is stunning and beautiful, I wouldn't call it art. Feel free to disagree. The Comment Section is waiting for you below.)
But Rossi and the Desmosedici as Art on Canvas? Immobile? Captured on film and in paint?
Yep. That's art too:
Created by Polish artist, Patryk Kuleta, there are only 46 prints (Coincidence? You decide.) available of each piece. Kuleta attempts to capture the speed, movement, and adrenaline-spiked experience that is racing on a still canvas.
The comic book-esque quality that creeps in around the edges, acknowledges the surreal and almost super-hero quality of riding a two-wheeled jet engine around a track at nearly 200mph.
Kuleta begins with a simple photograph. He strips out some areas, which gradually adding layers of color blocks and waving streaks and lines.
The end result is an assault on the viewer of the chaos, movement, and sound; the visceral rush that is riding a motorcycle to the edge and back again.
Motorcycle Art. VROOM!!!
