Artwork Description:

Title: Peloton

This Peloton Abstract piece is my tribute to the Grand Tour peloton and my interpretation of cycling and the ‘race within a race’.

I wanted to capture the chaos, the stress, colours and energy.

It was about trying to convey this moving thing in a moment of time, the elements and attrition. The coverage and how we experience it.

I like the idea of hidden elements and shapes and leaving it up to the viewer to make their own interpretation.

Artist Bio:

I’m George Johnston, a contemporary artist from Glasgow, Scotland. While my career background is in design and publishing, my true passion lies in art and sport.

For me, cycling is art. Through Peloton Abstract, I fuse my passion for both cycling and art, using abstract design to capture the speed, colors, chaos, excitement, and energy of ‘a moment in time’ during a race—the elements and the attrition. I also incorporate hidden shapes, inviting viewers to interpret them in their own way.

This collection honors the inclusive spirit of cycling, showcasing how the sport unites people of all backgrounds and abilities. It captures the essence of teamwork, perseverance, and a shared passion for the race, making cycling a universal experience for everyone.
