Bike tyre art by Yang

Bike tyre art by Yang

Singapore-based artist Thomas Yang created these unique artworks using a tool normally associated with tracking mud into your flat – bicycle tyres.

By strategically placing these tyre marks, they become perfectly suited to repeat complex structures like the Eiffel tower or the Empire State Building.

“The idea came up while I was toying around with ideas on how I can paint with a bicycle. Tyre tracks were the first thing in my mind. Then I went further to explore the characteristics on each of the tyre pattern and realized that I could possibly paint some building structures” Yang explains.

Yang, who is a cycling enthusiast himself, made four different prints – “The Cyclist’s Empire” (the Empire State Building), “God Save the Bike” (Tower Bridge), “Bicycle Mon Amour” (Eiffel Tower) and “The Unforbidden Cyclist” (the Forbidden City), producing only 100 printed copies of each one. Unsurprisingly, all of them were quickly sold out.
