The latest artistic effort paying homage to Ducati comes from Award winning graffiti artist, Carlos Guerreo. At the beginning of August Guerreo was the guest of Erico Motorsports for “The Rhythm of Ducati”, a piece that involved attaching a set of Ducati Monster bodywork to a 5’ x 5’ painted canvas.
The artist explained that this bodywork can either hang as a work of art in a home or garage or it can also easily disassemble and be placed directly on a Ducati Monster.
For those riders looking for that special piece of art for both their wall and motorcycle, Erico Motorsports will be auctioning this artwork beginning on September 6, 2011. The auction can be found on Ebay under the title “The Rhythm of Ducati”. The bidding will start at $1,000 with all proceeds benefitting the Ronald McDonald House.
This isn’t the only opportunity for Ducatista’s to take their riding passion from the road to the wall.
The latest chapter to find itself memorialized in this artistic fashion is a person who is widely considered as one of the most successful motorcycle racers of all time, Valentino Rossi, winner of nine GP World Championships.
Valentino has joined Ducati’s official racing team in 2011, appearing on an Italian motorcycle for the first time since 1999.
To celebrate Valentino joining the Ducati Team, a collection of artworks have been created by the talented Polish artist, Patryk Kuleta from the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz, Poland.
For the collection Pat chose a bold and colorful artistic direction with vivid and bright colors all mixed together to give the artworks a vibrant and electric look symbolizing the legendary racer. The artworks of the Ducati art collection are: The Fight, 46 Reasons, First Ride, Front Runner and Perpetually Stronger.
