French artist Philippe Pasqua has unveiled a new work of art meant to represent the strong bond between man and car. The piece is a Ferrari F430 whose bodywork was completely coated in leather, and then properly tattooed. The tattoo job performed on the car is of the highest level, but equally impressive is the way the leather was overlaid on Ferrari F430’s body-shell: it is, in fact, perfect. The job was carried out with maximum care in every detail, and certain ‘nasty’ bits such as head and tail lights’ outlines and wing mirror shells were not left behind.
It is not the first time a Ferrari gets covered in leather, but the artist’s idea to have it tattooed is definitely original, to say the least. Philippe Pasqua’s latest opus will be on display at the Galerie Laurent Strouk in Paris starting this January, we hope to see some interesting close-up of this piece as soon as possible.
