Abstract

This article explains the production of four artistic works which represent the biker identity in Ecuador by the investigation of their emblems, codes, symbology, aesthetic and the way of dressing, which can be seen in the motorcycle meetings. Ecuadorian motorcyclists were inspired by the legendary stories of the motorcycle clubs that were born in the United States after the Second World War.

Keywords: Art, biker culture, identity, motorclub, style.
