The bicycle art show you've all been waiting for. Artworks created by cyclist-artists, all inspired in some way by riding a bike.
All proceeds from Life Cycle will be donated to Safe Streets Austin, our favorite local active transportation advocacy organization. We're excited to support the work that keeps our city moving for everyone.
Participating cyclist-artists include: Will Bryant, Matt Cardinal, Rebekah Flake, Sara Kate Hannon, Drew Liverman, Tim McCool, Anna Moreno and Blake Whitson.
Rebekah Flake is a Canadian-American artist using lens-based media and curation to explore migration narratives and the psycho-social effects of borders. Raised in Mississippi, she references the inescapable persistence of history in the forms of public memorials and personal reflections. Her practice also expands to Berlin, where she was awarded a DAAD fellowship, and to South Africa, when she and her colleagues at Temple University received an EPPY Award for media work in Johannesburg in 2013. She enjoys working collaboratively and has been a member of the artist-run curatorial collectives Little Berlin, Gravy Gallery and Misbits. Flake holds an MFA in Photography from Tyler School of Art at Temple University, a BA from the University of Pennsylvania, and an MA from the Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art. She is based in Austin, Texas.
Sara Kate Hannon is an artist living in Austin, Texas. She received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2002. Hannon is interested in the multi-dimensionality of our personalities.
Will Bryant is an artist, designer, and illustrator based in Austin, Texas. He’d like to think that he makes fun, exuberant, and sometimes humorous work. In addition to collaborating with brands, he also continues to develop a body of work in the form of painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture.
Growing up in Texarkana, TX he spent his time playing sports, watching Pee Wee’s Playhouse, and making lame jokes. Some things never change.
He is on the board for SAGE Studio and is the Creative Director of Breakfast Club. He studied graphic design at Mississippi State University (2008) and received an MFA in Contemporary Art Practice from Portland State University (2013).
Timothy McCool is an Austin, Texas-based artist and educator. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, McCool received his Master’s of Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University located in Boston, MA.
McCool has exhibited his work at locations such as the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Montserrat College of Art, Carroll & Sons Gallery, and Room 68. He has been the artist in residence at the Boston Center for the Arts, the Studios Program at MASS MoCA, and at the Arteles Creative Center in Finland.
