Those who love bikes, understand that they are more than just machines. They breathe. They bleed. They weep. And, if neglected, they die. Like us, every one is different – unique.
The ‘Blood Bikes’ series embraces this ethos. Each painting in the series has the DNA of the bike coursing through the artwork – the carbon sourced from the tail-pipe, and/or the oil syringes from its belly. Making each painting as unique as the bike it represents.
About the artist:
Skip studied art and graphic design in England and, on leaving, became an art director working for some of the most revered ad agencies. Restless in London, he went in search of adventure, ending up as Creative Director in Australia’s top agencies. Over many years in commercial art, Skip continued to paint, and over the past five years, has combined his love of art, ideas and motorbikes, culminating in the Blood Bike series.
