Picasso
Je suis un shock car - By Daily Echo reporter
Andy has just received press stating he is the Automotive Banksy after the launch of Picasso's Citroen.
The tiny French motor is now an artistic masterpiece after the multi-coloured makeover and abstract alterations.
It is still fully roadworthy and capable of hitting 65mph and has been renamed Picasso's Citroen.
Andy decided to create an asymmetrical and abstract vehicle after seeing paintings by the Spanish cubist Pablo Picasso.
It was officially launched at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2007.
Soon to be available as a 1:48 scale model.
Now residing in a private museum in California.
After its launch Andy reckons the automobile would make a fine addition to the Tate Gallery in London or the Pompidou Centre in Paris.
The mechanical masterpiece was inspired by Picasso's Three Musicians and his portrait of Dora Maar.
Andy has done his best to alter all symmetry and says the more you study thecar, the more quirky things you can see.
Andy added: "I decided to try and blur the line between car design and art by using Picasso as inspiration."
