Watercolour and Acrylic on paper
Sheffield, 1971
While working at W.H. Smith Wholesale, I heard the words:
โHey, Bemrose just crushed your bike!โ
My Honda Cub 50โmy symbol of independenceโlay mangled beneath a reversing truck
A personal story, painted with memory and motor oil.
We were immortal....then!

Kenny Wright was a fierce rider and a complex soul. We shared bikes, beer, and music. His Kawasaki H2 was a rocket, and he rode like he had nothing to lose. This painting captures Kenny and Sharon in the early '70sโliving fast, before the weight of life caught up with him.
