Saltwater Dreamtime x Vamos Bikes Collaboration
one-off hand-painted electric cruiser e-bike, with proceeds going to charity

Zachary Bennett-Brook is the artist of Saltwater Dreamtime, a contemporary artist and proud Indigenous man of Torres Strait Islander ancestry born and living on Dharawal Land (Wollongong). Zac has a love for the ocean and creates artworks that reflect his natural surroundings and passions. The artwork painted for the Vamos X Saltwater Dreamtime Collab is a style called Travelling. This style was nice and fitting as it is on a bike and represents our journey through life. The artwork has a number of circular sections symbolising groupings of people such as family and friends. The thick lines connecting these are the journey aspect of moving from one location to another. Blues and greens have been used to connect the artwork to the ocean and natural environment, but also pop really nicely against the Black frame.
