I chose this artwork because it caught my eye automatically. The duck on the motorcyle amused me a little. This is a stereotype artwork. Because stereotyping has to do with judging based of your opinion of one thing, the artist who made thi artwork probably thought of motorcycle drivers as little chickens who think that they are tough. In conclusion, this artwork is definitely a stereotype work, and it immediately caught my attention.
One of the post modern visual strategies that I noticed on your picture was Juxtaposition. the opposition that was noticed was the difference between an innocent duck and a bad boy biker. the artist was definitely trying to get a message through, possibly that not everything is what it seems.I believed the common stereotype that bikers were huge, tattooed, bearded men that looked like modern day barbarians, but the picture shows that of an innocent duck
