Motorcycle art…

Motorcycles and things related to them are interesting..the bikes themselves, the people, the events, and more, so it was with some interest that Sue and I noticed a small piece in our local newspaper about a motorcycle show in nearby Chaffey College.  Faster, Faster!  The Art of Motorcycle Culture was the name of the show, and that sounded like it might be fun.  Not having anything pressing to do, we decided to ride over and see it.  I had my Nikon, thinking that the show might have some interesting motorcycles worthy of a photo or two.

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.
