Enorme coup de coeur pour les vans de l’artiste de Brooklyn Kevin Cyr qui peint des véhicules du quotidien new-yorkais en les sortant de leur contexte, afin de concentrer toute l’attention sur leurs différentes caractéristiques urbaines comme les logos, graffitis et autres tags. Découverte en images dans la suite !

In a culture in which people are easily lured by the appeal of status-enhancing symbols, I find beauty in derelict cars and unkempt landscapes. I have always been interested in painting vehicles and scenes that have defined the evolution of the American landscape.

I commemorate commercial vehicles inundated with graffiti and rust, working vehicles, and well-traveled recreational vehicles. I find that there is so much character in old delivery trucks and vans — especially when covered with graffiti — and in the old RVs parked off a main road. Removing them from their everyday context gives them portrait-like importance. I paint with devoted attention to every imperfection and sign of age.

Painting and drawing these objects gives me a chance to document a time and place, and to make still a part of the ever-changing environment.
