Rode the Painted Motorcycle With Style

Speeding through the boundaries of traditional art, a woman becomes a high-octane spectacle as she sits atop a motorcycle—except, the bike isn’t metal; it’s made of people, each meticulously painted to create the illusion of machinery. The brainchild of New York-based artist Trina Merry, this living, breathing artwork defies categorization.

Trina Merry has made a name for herself by transforming the human body into a canvas for jaw-dropping visual art. In this piece, she challenges our perception of speed, motion, and the machinery that usually separates man from the road. Here, flesh fuses with illusion, creating an unforgettable tableau that races away as quickly as it arrived.
