    ROCK!


    Trio of Honda CG125 based motorcycles; BLACK!; ROCK! & PUNK!
    Artist Richard Hamilton wrote to the Smithsons in January
    1957.
    “Pop Art is: Popular, Low Cost, Transient, Expendable, Mass Produced,
    Young, Witty, Sexy, Gimmicky, Glamourous & Big Business.”
    We love this accurate synopsis and understand that the presentation of
    ordinary objects as works of art should be tackled that way, there our
    cheeky execution
    As far as the bikes specs; the idea was to make them as light & simple as
    possible shaving & getting rid off all the unnecessary bits, also
    trying to get them as close as possible to the 80′s BMX craze that so
    influential in our childhood.
    About the creative process we must thank artists, JMKL’s design & Lanas Paint
    Shop for the perfect reproduction of the desired combinations. Without
    their constant dedication this project wouldn’t have been the same.
