Wow, were we ever surprised. No motorcycles. It was an art exhibit, where the topic was, well, motorcycles and things related to them. At first we were a bit surprised because there were no motorcycles (we were expecting a bike show), but the exhibit was well displayed and we had a good time. There were paintings of motorcycles, people, custom helmets, vests, and oil cans. That last one might sound a bit off the wall, but Jeffrey Durrant’s paintings of oil cans were, to me, the best part of the show. I can’t explain why. I guess that’s one of the elements of fine art…something that is appealing in a way that is difficult to put into words.
Chaffey College had an interesting booklet assembled for the exhibit that included a number of essay prompts. That’s fascinating, and it made me wish I was still in school taking courses with assignments like that. The folks who organized Faster, Faster did a fine job. The show runs through March 9th.
