CYCLING TOWARDS HEAVEN

Fulber

 

CYCLING TOWARDS HEAVEN

The theme of great international sport enters the art works by Fulber dedicated to Revisitation.
His latest work, "Cycling towards heaven", is inspired by the futurist painters who, as early as 1910, sang the praises of representing action, dynamism and speed. This time, his work revisits the 70th Tour de Pologne, the prestigious Polish cycling race which, for the first time ever, crosses its national boundaries into Trentino.
In the painting by the artist from Trento, the great blue sun of the Uci Pro Tour radiates from Poland’s skylab towards the Trentino valleys, crossed by a modern cyclist and its design summarises some of the important elements of the sporting event; the number 70 like the edition of the Tour, a lenticular wheel with the number 51.151 which recalls the hour record of the great Francesco Moser and the symbols of Mart di Rovereto and Madonna di Campiglio, the start and finishes of one of the Tour’s stages. There is also a tribute to Pope John Paul II of Krakow and his predilection for the almost unattainable Pordoi peaks and the cross on the Pordoi Pass, another important stage of the Tour de Pologne.
