The use of iron sculpture elements makes this bicycle pop out from the canvas, while adding a layer of verisimilitude to the bike's metallic appearance. The entire bike is given a red, rusty appearance and it feels a little forgotten, a theme reinforced by the newspaper-like text on the background. However, there is a shine in the red suggesting that this was once a very cherished item. The dimensions and scale of a real bike are very cleverly reproduced here in sculpture.!-- split --Primo Mixed Media Hand Painted Iron Wall Sculpture
