Ai Weiwei transforms the humble bicycle into a new limited edition silkscreen print adorned with precious metal leaf.
Throughout his career, Ai Weiwei has used the bicycle as a symbolic motif to explore cultural memory and social change – most prominently in his installation series Forever Bicycles, where thousands of bikes are assembled into towering monuments. Forever Bicycle (Blue & Silver) translates the abstract visual language of these seminal sculptures into a hypnotic two-dimensional form. The edition invites collectors to reflect on themes of mobility, freedom, and the era of rapid modernisation that has reshaped our global economic and social landscape.
Produced in close collaboration with the artist by printmakers at our specialist London print studio, Make-Ready, this limited edition print is finished with hand-applied silver leaf.
