Design From the Mouths of Designers.

James Corbett’s Wonderful Car Parts Art

Posted by Dalibor Dimovski On November - 16 - 2009

We’ve all seen artwork designed from car parts.  A T-Rex from a muffler and a ’72 Volkswagen?  Check.

James Corbett, a sculpture artist from Australia, utilizes automotive parts to create something a bit more meta.  Sure, he has the prerequisite flora and fauna down to a tee, but the artist also creates vehicles in motion.  “That’s cheating!” you decry?  Oh ho!  Not so fast!

Corbett’s work takes parts from vehicles (he owns a recycling business in Brisbane) and includes them in the art without change.  That is, he doesn’t bend, break, or modify them in any way apart from welding.  From this method he creates vehicles turning corners during high-speed races, motorcycles in extreme side-swipes, and convertibles with drivers wearing scarves.

His upcoming exhibit in the UK takes place at the end of this week, and he plans on trekking to the US in the next year.

  2. Jeep body parts Said,

    The Jeep body parts vehicles never did give names to their cars, instead consistently using letters and numbers to designate the coupes, sedans and the SUVs. With the Jeep body parts Q45 being the flagship sedan, the Jeep body parts found its place in the American market.The Jeep body parts vehicles never did give names to their cars, instead consistently using letters and numbers to designate the coupes, sedans and the SUVs.
