Brooklyn‘s innovative studio MSCHF has unveiled a captivating transformation of Lexus electric cars at New York City‘s fall art week, showcasing the motomorphosis lexus sculptures. These remarkable pieces, displayed at Chelsea Industrial in Hudson Yards, challenge automotive norms by playfully distorting the concept car prototype.
The Motomorphosis Lexus Sculptures: A New Wave in Artistry
Dubbed “Motomorphosis,” the figures include the Circle Car and Twisted Car. Both are avant-garde takes on Lexus vehicles, showcasing the Lexus RZ450e and Lexus RX450h+ respectively, reimagined with creative deformities. The designs are a testament to the blending of art and automobile design.
Beyond vehicles, artistic expression finds form as Choishine Architects transform crochet into monumental urban lace structures.
The Circle Car presents an elongated and looped version of the Lexus RZ450e, while the Twisted Car appears to stretch and twist the Lexus RX450h+ into a fantastical shape. This artistic experiment draws from the visionary realm of digital design, embracing operations like twisting and stretching to yield forms that defy reality. As an art installation, this car sculpture represents a groundbreaking fusion of technology and creativity.
MSCHF’s chief creative officer, Kevin Wiesner, elaborated on the concept: “We aimed to invert the concept car idea, adopting a purely formalist view of the object. Twisting and bending are routine tasks in 3D design, creating digital anomalies manifesting as absurd physical structures.”
Circle Car embodies a comical futility, eternally chasing its own tail, while Twisted Car embraces a visually striking, digital-like error common in 3D modeling. Constructed with a steel armature, these creations comprise thousands of interconnected pieces forming a skin-like surface. While adorned with genuine Lexus parts, they remain non-functional.

Previously, MSCHF has also ventured into transforming Mercedes-AMG parts into furniture and deconstructing a Gufram Pratone chair. The Motomorphosis exhibition, on display at Chelsea Industrial from September 25th to 26th, showcased the artistic transformations. This unique display marked an unexpected artistic dialogue with vehicular design.
