Presenting Art to Sample.
In 2023, while introducing genuine Porsche hoods as a medium, I observed an unexpected captivation from my audience with the subtle exposure of painted metal on the sides of each hood. I was often asked if I could remove the Edition from the wall to reveal the back, which immediately commanded as much attention as the meticulously crafted Image affixed to the front.
I began emphasizing the significance of this subtle detail by coordinating the colours of the hoods with each assigned Image. However, given the vintage nature of this medium, it often proved challenging to source authentic Porsche hoods in specific colours while adhering to my stringent standards for quality and condition.
My response to this challenge is directly inspired by Porsche’s “Paint to Sample Plus” colour program, which allows buyers to custom order their cars in virtually any feasible solid or metallic paint colour based on a submitted sample.
Today, I am proud to offer the same dynamic creative capabilities for my patrons. I have partnered with Park Place Bodywerks, a Certified Porsche paint and body shop, to ensure that each of the forty-one steps in the crafting process is executed according to the brand standards of Porsche.
Colour is an immensely personal component of the bond that is instilled between a driver and their Porsche. My objective is to channel the emotional spirit of this bond into the work I create; I intend for my patrons to love their Art the same way they love their sports cars.
Beyond colour, I provide additional customization options for these Editions, including multiple enamel finishes that overlay the Image, one-of-one design reservations and a historic range of authentic Porsche crests, some of which date back to the 1970’s bearing a distressed patina.
To ensure the unique identity of these works, I have also designed an encrypted Costa Christ Art seal that will adorn each Porsche hood Edition as it completes production, aesthetically inspired by original CATALYST decals that came straight from the factory in Zuffenhausen once upon a time.
