Singapore artist uses bicycle tires to paint famous landmarks

Leave a Comment
Thomas Yang is an artist based in Singapore which creates unique artworks using bicycle tires. Monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, Tower Bridge or the Empire State Building were created through the meticulous placement of tires on a white screen.

"The idea came when I was toying with the idea of how to paint using a bike. The tires were the first that came to mind. Subsequently, explored the characteristics of each pattern of tire and I came to the conclusion that could possibly paint a few known buildings, "says Yang to Bored Panda.

Thomas Yang, which is a bicycle enthusiast, has created four different paintings: "The Cyclist's Empire" (Empire State Building), "God Save the Bike" (Tower Bridge), "Bycicle Mon Amour" (Eiffel Tower) and "The Unforbidden Cyclist" (forbidden city). From each original 100 copies were produced, which were quickly sold.

"The process of creation was actually quite difficult. For each of the works were required at least 40 essays ", explains the artist, who chose only buildings of cities with some culture tied to bicycles. For the creation of the four works were necessary 20 tires and each of the copies come with a special description related to bicycles and a number of editing.
