In Wooden Bicycle Rack (for Keith)<\/span>, MacRae considers the gap between the precision of a computer generated drawing and its less formally constructed wooden support.\u00a0 The large format drawing is backlit and, for the most part conceals the hand-cut wooden armature.\u00a0 The informal nature of this support structure is only hinted at by way of the impromptu wood and masking tape shims at its base.<\/span><\/div>\n

The drawing is one of a series dedicated to artists, this one, to Keith Haring.\u00a0 Haring, not necessarily a bike enthusiast, sought to communicate widely with his artwork, some of which has been adapted by various bicycle companies. He died of AIDS in 1990, and would have been 52 this year had he lived. The bicycle symbolizes each artist’s enduring talent and drive, cut short, but still supported, still inspiring.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
