About the artwork

This abstract bicycle composition is an extraordinary example of experimental poster art. The visual language is characterised by overlapping geometric shapes in the characteristic colours orange and blue. This choice of colour is not accidental - it represents the Dutch national colours and reinforces the cultural connection to the theme.

The motif shows several bicycles in different sizes and perspectives, which come together to form a complex, almost kaleidoscopic pattern. The bicycles are depicted using various graphic techniques: sometimes as line structures, sometimes as dotted surfaces or as solid circular shapes. This variety in the depiction creates a lively, almost musical rhythm.

The style is reminiscent of the experimental approaches of mid-century design, in which traditional motifs are reinterpreted using modern graphic techniques. The overlays and transparencies create depth and movement, while the reduced colour palette provides clarity and impact. The overall work conveys an impression of speed and urban dynamism, typical of the spirit of optimism of the 1960s.
