Displayed this weekend at Chelsea Industrial in New York, the latest installation by Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF showcases Lexus‘s innovative foray into the art world through the collaborative sculptures. “Motomorphosis,” debuting during Armory Week, features two dramatically transformed Lexus electric vehicles: the RZ450e and the RX450h+.
Lexus MSCHF Sculptures: Circle Car and Twisted Car
Each vehicle is reimagined as a sculptural art piece. The Circle Car appears as if an RZ450e has been extruded into a continuous loop, while the Twisted Car contorts the RX450h+ into surreal, wrung-out shapes. These forms emphasize the intersection of digital aesthetics and physical manifestations, an exploration MSCHF consistently examines through 3D software, Photoshop, and CGI-inspired designs. This art installation vividly captures the essence of this transformation.

The Concept of ‘Form Cars’ and Lexicon of Artistry
These creations, part of the art collaboration, are dubbed ‘Form Cars‘ by MSCHF. They differ from traditional concept cars by embodying the essence of movement rather than practical engineering. This approach nods to Futurism, an Italian art movement intent on depicting dynamism in static form, introducing the idea of conceptual vehicles.
Lexus’s marketing senior manager, Lisa McQueen, elaborates: “While electrification often concerns vehicle power, Motomorphosis invites us to explore what electricity can power in our imagination. Collaborating with MSCHF allows us to transcend the conventional vehicle form and explore new dimensions of movement and transformation with these sculptures.”
