Chase

I wanted to paint an interpretation from inside the peloton/bunch. When the business end of a stage is at full tilt. The team car radios,jostling for position. The urgency, the motorbikes, the TV coverage. The constant danger of speed, road furniture, touching wheels. This painting is supposed to jar, and the different layers represent again the moment of time. I like to use shadow and shapes in my work as they feature in cycling for the viewer. Then there is the coverage itself and what we consider watching 'live'. Road cameras switch to different parts of the race. Then the digitization of all that information is beamed to commentary teams in countries right across the globe. I find that all fascinating and inspiring for my work.
