These artworks celebrate Szabotage's fanatical love of cars. A self confessed gearhead, the pieces are an insight into his supercar obsession.
International Motor Xpo Hong Kong 2021
Szabotage is a keen car enthusiast and is passionate about the car modification and hypercar scene in Hong Kong. It's a culture that he enjoys and one that he can share with other enthusiasts. He believes that it is about getting the best out of car performance as well as styling. It is about the never-ending pursuit of the ultimate car and sharing that drive with others. These artworks are collages of Szabotage’s signature stencil artworks, many of which depict car elements including modification parts and the lifestyle that comes with being a car enthusiast; the drives, the scenery, the meet-ups, and the car chat over coffee.
Personalising a car, for Szabotage, is a necessity. These artworks represent all the things that Szabotage loves about the car modification scene, with particular references to Hong Kong.
This artwork comes from Szabotage's deep down desire to be a car designer. The strong, dynamic, sleek lines suggest speed and aerodynamics, setting the scene for hyper-performance. The artwork behind is a visual montage of brightly coloured motorsport paraphernalia, ranging from fluffy dice, gear sticks to bucket seats, set over a profile of a car design viewed from above. These elements express the strive for the perfection of modern technology to harmonise with modern material, dynamic design solutions and optimum performance, which are sure signs of man and machine in perfect harmony. Bridging the gap between our everyday car users and our hypercars, the passion can be shared by all.
