Is It Real? Artist Takes 3-D Cars and Makes Them Look Two-Dimensional
Southern California artist Joshua Vides curated a visually striking exhibit in downtown LA last weekend featuring three cars wrapped and painted in black-and-white in a black-and-white setting that made the familiar sports car shapes look like they were flat, two-dimensional drawings. And yet you could walk around them as if you'd entered a multi-dimensional sliver of the automotive universe. The exhibit was called Check Engine Light, and it was like nothing you've seen before. You may know Vides from when he did the white-and-pinstriped livery that was on the Ferrari F1 cars at Las Vegas, as well as drivers suits worn by Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc. He does sneakers with a similar black-on-white look. He has done installations where he did an entire football field, a volleyball court, and any number of different media. The show only lasted four days and it's closed now, but you can follow him on Instagram @joshuavides. ALSO CHECK OUT A PORSCHE & FERRARI PACKED WEEKEND IN LOS ANGELES
