About the artist

Giannis Dendrinos is a Greek artist creating sculptures by using industrial spare parts such as ball bearings, engine parts, valves, pistons and various metal industrial parts. By assembling these parts by welding, he creates artworks of various themes. One of his favourite themes are motorcycles and motorbikes. His motorbikes, motorcycles are unique in design and inspired by fantasy. He has created over 300 motorcycle decor artworks.

What is a motorcycle?

A motorcycle (or motorbike) is a vehicle used to transport people from one place to another. It does not have 4 wheels like a car. It has 2 wheels like a bicycle. But it has a motor like a car. A motorcycle is usually driven by one person. A passenger can also ride on the back of the motorcycle. Some motorcycles have a sidecar that can carry another passenger.

In 1901, the first successful motorcycle was made by “Indian motorcycles” in Springfield, Massachusetts. Since then, many other companies have made them. Major manufacturers include Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha. A well known American manufacturer of motorcycles is Harley-Davidson.

Since motorcycles can be lighter than cars, they can accelerate more quickly. But it also makes them not as safe as cars, because they do not have a protecting chassis around them like cars. Very often motorcycle riders are injured heavily in accidents. A motorcycle rider can wear a helmet and clothing that has armor. This special clothing may reduce the rider’s injuries in an accident. Motorcycles also do not protect riders against wind and rain. That makes it difficult to drive in winter or during bad weather.

In poor countries, motorcycles are used by many as a cheap method of transportation. Many people who do not have the money to buy a car can afford a small motorcycle. In rich countries, large powerful motorcycles are used more as a hobby or sport.

Origin of word decor

The word originates from 1897, from a show “scenery and furnishings,” from French décor (18c.). Originating from the verb décorer which means”to decorate” (14c.), from Latin decorare “to decorate, adorn, embellish, beautify,” from decus (genitive decoris) “an ornament.

Originally in English in reference to theater stages; home-decor is by 1900 in reference to copies of old masters paintings used as home decoration; general use for “decorations and furnishings of a room, building, etc.

Buy a unique ball bearing metal sculpture

This ball bearing sculpture is part of my abstract series of sculptures. It does not symbolize something particular. I mostly play with form and materials. Here I liked the composition between a hard material such as metal and a soft cloth.

What is a ball bearing used for?

The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. It achieves this by using at least two races to contain the balls and transmit the loads through the balls. In most applications, one race is stationary and the other is attached to the rotating assembly (e.g., a hub or shaft). As one of the bearing races rotates it causes the balls to rotate as well. Because the balls are rolling they have a much lower coefficient of friction than if two flat surfaces were sliding against each other.

More about ball bearing

I use only metal scrap parts for my art sculptures. Passionate about mechanics and art, I started creating with metal and scrap since the age of 18. My themes vary between humanoid, figurative, transportation, motorcycle, abstract. The latest years I have adopted a passion for lighting. I started adapting lighting in my art sculptures. Why not combine uniqueness and functuionality.

Industrial lamps – a modern reflection of the factory appearance

Many artists set up their workshops in empty factories in the early 20th century. Τhat was the beginning of a trend in interior design that is very in trend today. But when these buildings were later converted into studio apartments or lofts, their minimal and functional style found its way into the world of modern life. Hard materials are characteristic of this interior style. Industrial lamps are made of various metals and materials such old industrial parts, plumbing piping, refurbished tools.

Wood and concrete are also often used. In terms of color, pure neutrals prevail, combined with rich color touches. For example, black, gray, brown, and white are combined with bright red and glossy yellow. Industrial light bulbs represent something original, unconventional. They deliberately exude a certain factory atmosphere and look a bit harsh and harsh. Industrial design lights fit perfectly with bare walls or open pipes in the house, but also retain their elegant look when added to a modern interior. They give light to different rooms of the house and always add a personal touch to your furniture.

Where did I get my influence about this motorcycle artwork Sculpture?

The natural environment of African landscape, the primitive way of life and my father?s metal workshop where I used to spend many hours playing are the basic reasons that led me to metal sculpture by using engine?s spare parts. They provide me with shapes and forms which I weld, grind, polish and finally varnish. I feel that I always have something new to discover which lead to new ideas and inventions. Using parts is about constructing, assembling, disassembling. Try the infinite possibilities of combining various objects to form what I have in my mind.

My current themes are mostly humanoid. As am attempt to show the fragile nature of mankind through the birth cycle, the creation process, motherhood, love. On the other side, I experience metal sculpture as a game and revive my need to play by creating vehicles such as motorbikes, cars and trains.

The strong needs of an individual to explain his existence, to seek his origins, the power of the mind are themes that fascinate me. A challenge for me would be in creating huge metal sculptures involving movement in order to create kinetic sculptures (kinetic art). I admire kinetic artists such as Jean Tinguely, Alexander Calder and classic sculptors such as Henry Moore, David Smith. My goal through my artwork is to convey the way I experience life and my exploration of art by using an industrial material which is being transformed to an unusual medium in Art.
