Art on Wheels

7/25/21

These photos were taken on Saturday January 9, 2021 at 12:27 PM.

 

The location was in the parking area adjacent to the entrance of a hotel in Chevy Chase MD (a suburb of Washington DC).

 

The "Take It!" was an easy decision.

 

I was lucky enough to catch the driver/owner of this art work mounted on a truck as he was about to depart. The figures on the replica of a construction steel beam were fashioned from a photo taken in 1932 from a high rise construction site.  

 

The creator of this master piece said it took him about one day per figure to make them. They were made from epoxy. I complemented him on his great work for which he had a minimal acknowledging response. I did not ask why he had come to town from NY which was shown on the license plate of the truck.

 

This was another part of a very different week in Washington DC.

 

Wishing every one my very best,

 

Bruce

    I can understand how you felt it was an easy decision to snap these pictures. I'm old & can barely work my phone, but I would have struggled to open the camera on my phone to take some pictures of this if I had the pleasure of seeing it.

    Very Cool! Looks like they are all wearing masks too since they can practice social distancing on that beam. Lol

    After seeing this, I just had to check out the sergio furnari website on the art. Looks like a high end art dealer, but they did have a link to a video. I found it interesting so I thought Id share it incase anyone else is interested.

    I wonder how many people have been in a fender bender because they were staring at that truck drive by instead of watching the road.

    Is this a new form of art? Car art? Or maybe CArt.

    This has to be one of the strangest things I have ever seen on this website. Its very cool and definitely unique. I would really like to know the story behind how this person ended up with a giant sculpture on their vehicle.
