Artist Richard Hamilton wrote to the Smithsons in January 1957.
“Pop Art is: Popular, Low Cost, Transient, Expendable, Mass Produced, Young, Witty, Sexy, Gimmicky, Glamourous & Big Business.”
We love this accurate synopsis and understand that the presentation of ordinary objects as works of art should be tackled that way, there our cheeky execution.
As far as the bikes specs; the idea was to make them as light & simple as possible shaving & getting rid off all the unnecessary bits, also trying to get them as close as possible to the 80’s BMX craze that so influential in our childhood.
About the creative process we must thank artists, JMKL’s design & Lanas Paint Shop for the perfect reproduction of the desired combinations. Without their constant dedication this project wouldn’t have been the same.
