Bike Wheel Art Sculpture

Partnering with Kevin Barry Art Advisory we constructed and painted bike wheels for the Denver Hyatt Centric Lobby.

We started by taking apart the magazine on the bike wheel. Then Micah welded the magazine together with a nut on top so the bike wheel could thread right back on to the wheel. Then we inflated the wheels and glued the tire directly on to the wheel base. After that we spray painted them the desired colors and finished with a glossy enamel spray to seal and make the colors pop.

During installation, we attached each magazine mount with four 30lbs drywall anchors. Then permanently secured the wheels to the magazines with JB weld.
