British Artist Grayson Perry takes a trip
Grayson Perry, a 51 year old artist from London, England who has been awarded the Turner Prize in 2003 for his ceramics, built a motorcycle as a tribute to his Teddy bear, Alan Measles. 50 years after first receiving the bear, Perry decided to pay homage to his life long friend by building an ornate and outlandish motorcycle. It’s called the Kenilworth AM1 and according to Perry the bike is mixture of, “Mexican Day of the Dead meets Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”
Without going into his troubled youth and bizarre philosophy, we can safely say that this is a true work of art by an “inspired” artist. For more information regarding Mr. Perry, check here on wikipedia.
