LONDON, England — In one of the more offbeat footnotes to the 2008 British Auto Show, a local artist is showing off paintings of the Chevrolet Camaro convertible and Beat concept cars created by using remote control cars driven through acrylic paints.
"I figured that using cars to paint cars would capture people's imaginations," said Ian Cook, 25, the artist who calls his method "Popbang Colour."
Cook adds details to the paintings by using old car tires. He has also used the method to create portraits of such iconic automotive figures as F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.
Chevrolet says that Cook will continue to work on his art at the British auto show. His next subject: British racing star Rob Huff's Chevrolet Lacetti World Touring Car.
