Hermannstrasse S41 (2024) Original Acrylic Painting by Simon Findlay

553 x 320 x 2cm (unframed)

£3,807.8

22 minutes of continuous biking.

Three dice were inside a small pickle jar in the pouch of my overalls. Once shaking and reading out loud their answers, l added paint and water to the front bucket and stirred. This bucket had a hole in the bottom that dripped onto the front wheel. The contraption fit over the handle bars of the bike and allowed for me to carry 6 tubes and 6L of water without needing to pause.

Dice to determine colour:
2x 6-sided die selected from the various tubes; red, white, violet, magenta, turquoise, yellow.
The ratio between these tubes was decided by the 12-sided die.

The name is from train stations in Berlin along the S41 line, which runs clockwise, the same rotation direction that I bike.

Materials used:

Acrylic paint on canvas
