Details

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.

“Motor bike”

This package arrived at my door June 7th. I couldnt believe my eyes. The way Armando Ramirez takes nails and screws and other pieces of metal and arranges them into beautiful works of art is absolutely amazing. You should see this monster motor bike; simply amazing! Will be buying more of this artisans products.
