This is a distinctive piece by French artist Antoine Dufilho. Dufilho is known for his work that blends industrial design with fine art, and this particular sculpture appears to follow his iconic style of using layered metal or resin plates to depict a car in motion.
In this sculpture:
Structure: The car is composed of multiple horizontal plates, stacked in such a way that the body of the vehicle appears dynamic and fluid. The spacing between the plates creates the illusion of motion and transparency as if the car is speeding forward or being viewed in a time-lapse effect.
Material: The plates seem to be made of a metallic material, giving the piece a sleek, industrial feel, while the wheels appear more solid and polished, further enhancing the modern aesthetic.
Design: The car design evokes vintage race cars or classic automobiles, reminiscent of early 20th-century models with their elongated bodies and large, distinctive wheels. The reflection on the base further enhances the modern and sleek appearance of the sculpture.
Dufilho’s work typically explores themes of movement, speed, and the relationship between solid form and negative space, and this sculpture fits well within that context, emphasizing both the beauty and precision of automotive design.
