Fish on a bicycle
Fish on a bicycle. This concept is derived from the famous feminist phrase " A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle", coined by Irina Dunn in 1970. That maxim is itself a paraphrase of " A man needs God like a fish needs a bicycle"

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fish on a Bicycle" is an abstract and thought-provoking piece of artwork that combines elements of feminism, religion, and nonsensical imagery. The concept behind this composition stems from the famous feminist phrase coined by Irina Dunn in 1970: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle". This maxim challenges traditional gender roles and highlights the independence and strength of women. In turn, this print playfully reimagines the phrase by depicting a salmon riding a bicycle. It humorously suggests that just as fish have no need for bicycles, men do not necessarily require God in their lives. By merging these seemingly unrelated concepts, the artist invites viewers to question societal norms and challenge conventional wisdom. The vibrant colors and abstract nature of this illustration create an eye-catching visual experience. The composite image seamlessly blends various elements together to form an imaginative representation of relationships between feminism, religion, and absurdity. Overall, "Fish on a Bicycle" serves as both an artistic expression and social commentary on gender dynamics while encouraging viewers to embrace individuality and question established beliefs. This print from Science Photo Library sparks curiosity through its conceptual design while celebrating the power of art to provoke meaningful conversations about society's expectations.
