Instead of using the tradition paint brush, 25-year old artist, Ian Cook, from Solihull, West Midlands used remote control cars driven through acrylic paints, with further detail added by using old car tyres.


This is definitely, a really unique and interesting art form. Although this is largely an advertising scheme by Chevrolet, this car company has also helped this artist expose himself to a bigger audience and potentially, more people who appreciates his art.

“I wanted to be an artist from a young age and decided that to be successful I needed something completely unique,” said Ian. “I’ve always been mad about anything with wheels and I figured that using cars to paint cars would capture peoples’ imaginations, so I experimented at home by driving some remote control models through paint.”

Cook has coined his style of art, Popbang Colour, with paintings of other famous figures from the world of motoring, including Lord Montagu of Beaulieu and F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.

Anyway, this form of art was shown in the recent British Motor Show.
