Artist's Description:
An homage in acid colors (Dayglo Ink) to Otl Aicher and his pictogram design system for the Munich Olympic Games of 1972. The subject was selected inspired by my passion for biking and bicycles. The original design square and diagonal lines grid was included (silver, green, and orange) to show the structure of the pictogram and add a pattern to the design emphasizing movement. The bike wheels have been filled with color to add drama to the composition and circular elements showing the size and proportions of the terminals of the human body were printed as the top layer with silver ink.
