Bikes as Psychedelic Art

The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) has invited artist to respond to their annual fundraising gala's "Psychedelic" theme by customizing designer items donated to the organization.  One of the contributor,  it's Velorution - a London-based cycling store.

Below are some of the bikes on display as part of ICA's silent auction - customized by artist Damien Hirst and Gary Hume

That first bike reminds me of a tie-die t-shirt I wore in college. No doubt the t-shirt sold for a LOT less than the bike will.

Speaking of art and not t-shirts, do avid bike people decorate their living space with bike stuff...art...bike parts laying around the living room...coffee mugs...calendars...prints...etc..etc?

I don't consider myself an avid biker so there isn't a lot of that stuff in our house...wouldn't have room for it anyway with all the dog stuff! Woof, Woof from Charlie and Harry our two Super Spaniels.

Damien Hirst's work reminds me of my Absolut Vodka bottle collection. Funky, and yet no lack of classy.
