Origins and History
The counterculture movement of the 1960s and 1970s had a significant impact on the development of bike art. During this time, artists created works that challenged traditional notions of art and explored new mediums. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in bike art, with artists exploring themes of sustainability and environmentalism.
