A woman standing leans on or holds a racing bicycle. The bicycle’s spokes are depicted as colored sections, resembling chromatic discs. Bright colors dominate the painting, contrasting with the weary expression on the woman’s face.
Mosley often explores circus or carnival themes through portraits of various performers. His work draws on themes, styles, and movements from art history in surrealist paintings inspired by both folk and contemporary art. As a result, the artist creates fantastical, whimsical, and intriguing scenes, rendered in colorful patterns.
