Artistry on Wheels: A Moving Exhibition
London’s streets have become home to an extraordinary moving exhibition with the innovative use of mobile artworks. Six vehicles from The Peninsula London now showcase an innovative blend of mythology and art, conceived by artist Kozo in collaboration with Cart Department. Each car, adorned in the hotel’s signature green, reveals intricate stories that intertwine mythology, history, and contemporary art.
Timely Artistic Transformation with Mythology on Wheels
Coinciding with Frieze London, these mobile masterpieces flaunt Kozo’s art against the rich green backdrop. The spectacle captivates onlookers as passengers explore the city, witnessing a continuous narrative where white-uniformed Peninsula Pages theatrically unveil historical wonders. The artworks include grazing animals, stately homes, and winding rivers depicted in harmonious greens and grays. Iconic British elements like Guardian Lions and Wellington Arch further root the exhibition in its locale.
The Creation Process
To bring this vision to life, Kozo adapted his painting and tattoo expertise to work seamlessly on the cars‘ unique surfaces. By sketching digitally over photographs, he aligned the complex designs with each vehicle’s curves. Every angle and bend was considered to integrate graphics that flowed naturally across the metal work. The final designs, custom-made into vinyl wraps, were expertly installed by detailing specialists at Topaz. The result is a perfect synthesis of art and motion, celebrating these mobile canvases.
Vehicles as Canvases
“A car is not a blank white canvas,” Kozo remarks, describing the challenge of transforming moving vehicles into a traveling exhibition. The diverse collection, comprising Rolls-Royce Phantoms, a Bentley Bentayga, an electrified Austin Taxi, a BMW i7, and a LEVC, represents a fusion of tradition and modernity. This unique fleet, available for booking throughout October, turns everyday travel into an artistic journey through the city’s and hotel’s rich history. The inclusion of luxury cars like the Rolls-Royce Phantoms adds an extra layer of opulence to the exhibition.
