According to the Autohub Group, the featured artists focused on the Mini image either as the main subject or as a jump-off point for further expression and exploration, using their distinctive styles and visual strategies in paying tribute to such an iconic car. They also used model cars in resin as painting surfaces, presenting the idea that art can have mobility, accessibility, and ability to zoom in and out of everyday life.
These, the vehicle distributor added, are attempts in creating “rolling masterpieces.”
“This collaboration not only celebrates the brand’s legacy, but also showcases the fusion of contemporary art and automotive artistry,” it added.
