commissioned artwork

A commissioned artwork for an enthusiastic cyclist.
Material: photo paper mounted under acrylic glass, framed
Dimensions: 80 x 60 cm

The image structure:

First I retouched and painted over the original image (a photograph), abstracted and joined colored areas. Then I looked for shapes, lines and colors. I integrated these into the picture by using stencils, spray paintings, acrylic and water colors. Again and again I came across lines that symbolize the "way". At the top right are fragments of two wheel rims, at the bottom right a stencil of a cyclist. I have inserted fragments of numbers and the cyclist is highlighted with the color orange, symbolizing strength and activity.
Further fragments of tags, décollages and collages complete and condense the image structure.
Basically the composition is dynamic, wild, rich in contrast and colorful.
