Scott Taylor, Bike Guy
June 28, 2010 to July 12, 2010
North 12th Street and Bedford Avenue
McCarren Park, Brooklyn
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
Description:
Scott Taylor takes the familiar bicycle lane insignia and transforms Bike Guy into three dimensions. McCarren Park and the neighborhood of Williamsburg are known for their heavy bike usage and the community’s reliance on the two-wheeled vehicle for daily transportation. Taylor’s sculpture highlights the neighborhood’s growing use of alternative transportation.
Taylor utilizes universal symbols in his artwork, intrigued by their simplicity. Clear, Concise and stripped of clutter, universal symbols transcend language, race, age, gender and geography—the most simplistic form of human communication.
