Game Art: Coll.eo's "CARJACKED (After Cy Twombly)" (2012)
The third car in the ongoing CARJACKED project was developed by Cy Twombly's avatars
"In 1971,BMW asked Twombly to decorate a lush 3.0 CLS BMW as part of the German carmaker initiative, Art Cars. The artist’s fluid, continuous lines adorn the elegant steel of this gray sculpture on wheels. The nervousness of touch found in Twombly’s style reflects the dynamic style of the BMW driver, whose approach to driving is eminently vigorous. Never impatient but always intolerant of restrictions, the driver, like the artist, owns the road as if it were his canvas. The artist called his abstraction of cursive script “pseudo-writing”. Similarly, to drive a BMW is like writing on the road, leaving one’s marks on the concrete." (Coll.eo)
