Bicycle 3 Dimensional Vitreograph
Vitreography is the art or process of producing images or writing on multiple pieces of glass with opaque and transulcent paints and inks. The creation of every vitreograph combines and integrates three processes: serigraphy, print lithography, and hand-painting. The artist sketches with rapidograph pens as one might on a sheet of paper, except in this case it is drawn directly on multiple levels of glass. Elements from one glass level might be transferred to another level and back again, until a coherent 3-dimensional drawing emerges. Acrylic paint applied with a brush, as well as translucent inks indicate where color will be added during the printing process. The creation of each bicycle vitreograph is time consuming and labor intensive but yields this very unique 3 dimensional piece of bicycle art.
