“The history of art is full of paintings, sculptures and installations, which have had as their protagonist the timeless bicycle. The lesson of the great masters continues to inspire contemporary art, full of works that have dealt with this topical subject in an ever different and original way. The bicycle, despite the passage of time and the evolution of society, represents an evergreen means of locomotion, which has always attracted the interest of the greatest painters, sculptors, photographers and graphic designers in the history of Western art. The combination of art and bike has always generated high-level works, among which, it is impossible not to mention: Henri Toulouse-Lautrec's The Simpson Chain (1896), Natalia Goncharova's The Cyclist (1913), Salvator Dali's Sentimental Colloquy (1944), Fernand Léger's Leisure on a Red Background (1949) and Mario Schifano's Solo (1984).”
