Hans Gilbers - Bicycle

A series of drawings (Golden Heart) of different characters with a Heart of Gold. Specially recessed frame, the heart is finished with 23.7K gold powder.

The fourth work in the Golden Heart series. A cyclist who stomps vigorously on his pedals. You can see all the power in his muscles,

Here too, the basis is the dot drawing. It is created on the back of museum glass. At the bottom of the frame is a hand-drawn, unique copy of a Golden Heart. That is a dotted drawing finished with gold pigments and gold dust. The layered and deepened framing creates a spatial effect. This is also known as parallax.
