Art Cars & Art Bikes

art cars & motorbikes.

It´s always an exciting process to create art on alternative material issued from our daily life, especially when it’s related to automotive and transport. In fact, cars have the potential to provide mobility as a new dimension to the creative experience.

Nina Nolte´s special baby is her MINI Nina Nolte City Edition, with which she wants to conquer the MINI world. If you are a MINI dealer please contact us for information.

On the roof, for example, you´ll find 81 coal minors, well equipped with helmet, pike and pit lamp. The RUHRPOTT is a heavily populated region and is now well known for its cultural commitment.”

MY FUNNY VALENTINE, MINI Cooper Roadster – Art Car

a tribute to richard rodgers and frank sinatra

MARBELLA/ Spain 2018

 

“I love driving with the roof off and listening to jazz songs.

The song MY FUNNY VALENTINE, composed by Richard Rodgers and sung by Frank Sinatra, inspired me to the design of this MINI Cooper Roadster. Take a closer look and discover the lyrics of this song: …. is your mouth a little week…, …don´t change your hair for me…., etc. Here you can see the process from the beginning on: design, testing with a simple print on the door of the car, plotting out of vinyl wrapping foil and finally the transfer of my design to the body of the car. Thanks to my team a simple silver white MINI turned into a stunning Art Car.”

Go4It, Vespa LX 125 i.e. – Art Motorbike

Presented on the MARBELLA DESIGN FAIR 2018

part of a car collection

MARBELLA/ spain 2018

 

“This VESPA LX 125 i.e. is the first motorbike which turned into an Art Motorbike with the help of a Marbellean car wrapping studio.

It was presented in the VIP Lounge of the Marbella Design Fair 2018, got lots of attention also by the press. The American Movie “Roman Holiday” of 1953 inspired me to this design. In the movie Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck drove on of those cult motorbikes through Rome and I imagined me them making an excursion to the beach of Tarifa/ Spain. Go4it now forms part of an art collection.”

MARBELLA, Wrangler Jeep – Art Car

part of a car collection

MARBELLA/ spain 1999

“My second Art Car was a brand new Jeep, commissioned by a client in Marbella in 1999.

As a new challenge comparing to my previous work, I had to integrate my designs on the car by my own. Thanks to the fantastic talent of an auto paint shop, Andreas´s Art Car was ready for the first ride after three weeks. On this exclusive Jeep, you can see my client, his family as well as their hobbies and iconic things that Marbella is well known for. The car is part of a car collection.”

ORANGE QUARTET – Art Truck

“The first one was an enormous transporting truck, the type of truck that you can find on every road in the US. It belonged to a food transporting company that had the amazing idea of letting artists designing the exterior of their trucks. As an exclusive mobile and open air exhibition, “Young European Art” was exhibited all over Europe.
