When an artist creates something after being given the opportunity to, that artist deserves criticism just as much as he deserves the opportunity to do the thing which permits criticism. The reason is simple: an artist who is commissioned to do something cool and doesn’t do something cool is an insult to every artist who would have made better use of the same opportunity.

Maybe one will run you over. Why is it so hard for people to enjoy art and easy for them to criticize? Go home and lie down.

Meh.. I think I just like the second “GRID” paint job. And that’s only because it’s on a race car – which should be spectacular. The other ones are pretty horrible.. I wouldn’t want to be caught dead in one of those. Embarassing..

well Leonardo.. PIMP MY RIDE is all about that, but most of us (people) prefer ‘pimped stuuf, so I can’t figure out what’s best.. so keep pimpin’ and hope there’s more to it

paint destroys the depth of form.

what is sexy about a surface make-up ?

cant we get enough of boring-struggling-fancy stuff?

it just destroys the whole idea of being a designer !

Horrid.
Paintings should be reserved for canvas or other suitable/like stratum.
Automobiles are in their purest and highest art form when the shape, form and lines of the vehicles design are unobstructed by pointless graphic ornamentation.
The car in a solid color is more a testament to the art of the machine than these examples are intended to pass as art on wheels.
Tish, Tish.

Didn´t this thing of painting over cars begin with Sonia Dalunay?
Many more artists have worked on a car support ever since. I find it interesting. It is good that BMW makes this.
It would be good to remind Who and over What car did it also in the past. What car meant before and what it means now. If you stop and think about that, then Eliasson work might appear as quite ambitious as it´s trying to rethink of the machine-vehicle meaning nowadays. Not just applying a pattern or painting.
