About this item: Armando Ramirez transforms a collection of metal pieces including thick wires and tube pipes to create this impressive motorbike. Other pieces that once made part of a car's electrical and ignition systems have a more specialized function in this sculpture. For example, bearings and coils are transformed into tires and hubcaps. The gas tank used to be an ignition rocker arm and the engine is built from tubes and a brush holder. Finally, the seat was taken from a clutch pedal.

Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

- Components may vary slightly in size and form
- Features a rustic, rugged finish

About our Artist: Born in a Mexican town famed for its traditional artistry, Armando Ramirez dreamed of creating something new. 'As a child I enjoyed inventing toys, and soon yearned to create a unique style of art. Environmentally enamored, I now transform recycled goods. I began to craft figures from scrap and discarded mechanical parts, mostly from cars and bicycles. Thanks to the creativity that God gave me, today I have an enjoyable and better way of life.'
