Just in time to celebrate the Olympic Games in London 2012 (opened today!) I encounter the wonderful and thorough work that the French artist Ugo Gattoni made to completely fill five meters of paper with very detailed drawings that show a race Bicycle through the streets of the capital of England.
The project whose creation was recorded for our enjoyment by Camille Durand-Rival , has become a book published by Leporello Nobrow Press , publishers of the propositional betting that this type of work by young artists (in fact, Gattoni is just fresh out of art school in Paris). He took measures 19.5x33cm, a publication printed on long webs which when deployed measures two meters in length.
The original work of five meters was created with black pen on paper and took a total of 723 hours to complete, a work in which the talent and patience were the key factors. You do not have to wait for anything to buy Bicycle, which is already available in Nobrow.net by 18 pounds.
