International artists turn Volvo XC60 into a work of art

/ by:

For the third consecutive year, Volvo Car Switzerland organized the Volvo Art Session at the central train station in Zurich, Switzerland. A talented group of both emerging and established artists took part by giving a 2014 Volvo XC60 a completely new look.

The theme of this year’s Volvo Art Session in Zurich was “Designed Around You”. On stage stood a white XC60 in front of a white drop-back canvas. The international artists where invited to paint, spray and design to make their imaginations come alive. At the end of each session they created a three-dimensional work of art that only existed for a short while until the next artist painted over it.

This art session has been documented by well-known Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini. His images will be published in a photo-book later this year. Additionally, the continually changing face of the Volvo XC60 has been captured on a high-end time-lapse camera. The Volvo Art Session can therefore also be enjoyed as a cinematic work.

This year’s participating artists included the renowned German 3-D graffiti artist DAIM, the French-American duo Koralie & Supakitch, the rising street art stars Etam Cru from Poland, the Swiss graphic designer Blanda Eggenschwiler, the Canadian couple Lexr & Evoke, as well as the half-Chinese artist Daniel Man who is based in Germany.
