Creating Beautiful Car Art | Top Gear

in addition to the pre-prepared lot we'd be making some ourselves James for example is keen to make a sculpture I've decided what I should do deconstruct the car literally as you can see and artistically and then rather than try and rebuild it as a sculpture that speaks about the car I'm going to do it as a sculpture that speaks about my emotions my feelings when I Drive a car inspired to some extent by Picasso I think all you need to bear in mind is that if you can get an artist somebody with frizzy hair and sticky out teeth to say it's art then it's art while James set to work on his big metal face Richard went off to create a modern-day interpretation of constables hey Wayne right unlike Richard I'm not very good at drawing because I didn't go to art school so my painting will be done by this the 2005 Red Bull f1 car yep it's three litre v10 will be my brush all we need now is a tame racing driver some say he has a massive chin and that's true he does because he's David Coulthard so are you ready for this I think so yeah I'm still trying to get my head around the quite a good idea okay well the idea is very simple we are going to put paintballs into the airbox they will then shoot out of the exhaust okay and into the canvas then I'll be holding behind the car so we'll sort of spatter the canvas using this car as our brush sounds beautiful apparently it's triggered to start firing them at 5,000 rpm so you need to get a 5,000 could you do that I think I can probably manage that so if you want to hop in mate I'll I'll go and stand behind the vehicle I'll sham I just I might just put some protection on my head I've done some weird things in my life but this is up there all right and David ready Oh plums oh I'd say I'm not giving up most tumors that's for sure Oh things were going badly for me but they were worse for Sir Henry May every day over 10,000 people go to the National Gallery to see the hey way more will come and see this because it's got more of a social statement about it also because I'd substituted the hay Wain for a Zonda it's poetry in pain plums now protected and using a stronger aluminium canvas caught on I were in business plane of light just bounce off here and then work in working with the paint ball painting finished I was now busy on another creation what I'm doing is spraying the car with a special paint that shows up best in ultraviolet light sorry sorry so when I finished mr. Coulthard is going to take it for a spin around the track it will streak showing me where the airflow has gone sorry sorry again sorry mate with the car dripping wet David set off but unfortunately some of the planes have gone on his visor oh dear after wiping his helmet II set off again to create some 200 mile an hour you sprayed my helmet you shot one of my testicles oh I see that helmet that was I admit a mistake but you should see what has been achieved here because when we put this under ultraviolet light can we edit the spin out yes we can edit that up you promise projects completed we reconvened at the secret base where our exhibits were to be assessed by Rupert masse and heart dealer from the Antiques Roadshow it was a lot better than this I have to be honest the problem was it didn't dry it's sort of still happening yes it's actually it's performance art because it has streaks in a living way yes it fell off the easel I mean it really is nature and the automotive world absolutely crashing together very good for it when we'll meet you he's quite quite I have to say I think it is probably more compost than art but thank you annoyingly Rupert seemed to be quite interested in James Mays big face yes it's called acceleration face number one and when I was inspired to some extent by Blair writer as some of the works of that in African masks exactly the African mask has had an influence on it it's very angular it's quite simplistic is quite primitive has it been on fire no your fierce Bert thing well let's have a look at it in the round you know quite like the welding we can repair this Jay you see the Mona Lisa of the scrappy the rest of the visit wasn't any better is really here that catches your eye no does that one work no is this low good no does it work on any level for you no does it have artistic merit no so all of this is terrible well frankly yes well thank you very much for coming along thank you I value your opinion I won't necessarily pay any attention to it goodbye none of us will but thank you very much for coming Reaper feeling a bit disheartened we decided to try and create our own BMW art car we need to agree on a light source and a viewpoint our genius plan was to paint the inside of the car on the outside with James taking the bonnet me the side and Jeremy the boot you tell what it is it Jeremy though didn't quite get the idea right red for the blood Oh mate what but it's supposed to be what's inside the car how do you know that isn't a horse's head in the boot for our final creation we had to cut a car in half which meant using a dangerous plasma cutter that meant we had to take precautions I could help you can't do this with a hand that's exactly why you taped to a chair this is like a scene out of Reservoir Dogs don't give us ideas guys Wow where did you find that car well it was just outside with all the rest of them for this cuz it says here our Jo for RW said it's a rental car
