Most of you who have viewed the site before or go to events like Goodwood etc., will be very aware of the larger bike sculptures created.
These editions have been the back-bone to the collection over the years and clients in no fewer than 16 different countries now have editions on display in their homes and offices.
More detailed than the smaller sculptures, they appeal to a much broader range of clients. From main manufactures to private collectors.
Like the back-lit images, a fair number of editions have been exhibited and sold in art galleries across the globe over the years including the Royal Academy.
Due to the huge amount of time needed to create these larger sculptures Terence can only commit to creating one or two each year. So the numbers offered are kept very low. Hence they become very desirable.
Please view the current editions offered for sale to the right.
246
This is a new edition for 2015. The title ‘246’ relates to the 246 names which wrap and pull themselves through and over the texture and surface of the sculpture.
These are the names of all the riders to date who have taken on the challenge of the Isle of Man TT course since records began but sadly paid the ultimate price.
This is for obvious reasons a one-off.
Originally offered to the Isle of Man, where the sculpture should be seen and displayed for all to see who visit the island.
The Isle of Man arts council declined the offer stating "the sculpture raised the negatives related to racing on the island".
Make what you will of that comment.
Base size is 1.2 metres or 46 inches long. The sculpture stands 46 cm or 18 inches tall. POA.
60 DEGREES
Now this doesn’t happen too often. This edition sold out a fair time ago. But due to strange circumstances, one of the three black and white editions is back on display in the studio again. The original edition was a casting of six.
Three painted in colour, three in black and white.
This one is currently offered for sale… again.
Base: 135 cm long. Sculpture height on base: 35 cm tall. POA.
SMALLER BIKE SCULPTURES
As time allows smaller bike sculptures are offered for sale as one-off editions.
Painted as always in unique colours and styles. And now including wall mounted editions.
For availability, size and prices please make contact.
CHAPTER 5
Last one...
Rossi on a Ducati. Terence painted five of the six castings in the familiar Ducati red and white colours and all five are now sitting in homes of Rossi and Ducati fans across the world.
With this one (the last of the six castings) it was decided to paint it in the colours relating to the very first time Vale jumped onto a Ducati at the Valencia test.
You don’t have to understand too much relating to the idea behind this sculpture, except to mention at the time no other rider had so much written about him or the expectation of the much to be anticipated partnership of two of Italy’s biggest World superstars.
As we all know, the pairing didn’t quite live up to the hype, which in turn makes this unique sculpture even more appropriate. As you view the sculpture from front to rear you will notice the bike and rider transform into written books, magazines and paper. This is a visual refection of the huge amount written in expectation of the then new partnership.
Once Rossi final hangs up his leathers and helmet, Terence suspects both he and the rest of us will look back at the Ducati chapter of his racing career as a lot better than it seemed at the time.
Base: 80 cm long. Sculpture height on base: 49 cm tall. This edition has now been sold.
