tank harley davidson sportster Old School

OLD SCHOOL 1

design worked on Harley-Davidson Sportster

Luxurious and sophisticated design rich in retro decorations from 'belle époque' school in Paris.

Patterns, curves forms, and parallel swirls run and wrap in a game of fractal lines.

An essential and suggestive game of shapes, juxtaposed, now positively now negative.

To enrich the design a contrasting note: the linear hint of curls and flames which further embellish the artwork.

The surface of the famous Sportster tank is completely covered with the timeless and fascinating technique of metal flake, here inlaid with 24 carat gold leaf details in in contrast.

Made with metallic flakes are applied in several dry layers in various weights and prismatic shapes.

Our special dry technique, which differs from the usual use of sprayed metallic flakes suspended in transparent color, gives the volume of the object extreme brightness and diamond brilliance.
