When special cars meet Art at the Spa-Francorchamps GP

When special cars meet Art at the Spa-Francorchamps GP

An immersive exhibition at the Spa-Francorchamps Grand Prix

Our ambition extended beyond merely showcasing some of the most iconic racing machines ever built, like David Coulthard's original Formula 1 car, the classic Ferrari 308 GTS, or the unique model 9FF GT9-CS. Our overarching goal was to emphasize these high-speed cars as not just engineering marvels but also as masterpieces encapsulating design, engineering, and historical significance.

The art exhibition experience was taken to unprecedented heights by transforming the setting into a colossal canvas. A reproduction of our previous artwork created for the circuit served as the backdrop to these legendary vehicles, highlighting racing icons such as Jackie Icks, Thierry Boutsen, Eric Van de Poele, Marc Duez, Pescarolo, Ayrton Senna, Paul Frère, Yvette Fontaine, and Michael Schumacher. This setup encouraged attendees to perceive these automotive titans as both subjects and objects worthy of artistic celebration.


The intersection of Art and Engineering: a blend of disciplines

What set this 2023 Spa-Francorchamps Grand Prix exhibition apart was the harmonious blend of art and engineering. Instead of highlighting the distinct characteristics of each featured car, we focused on overarching themes: the relentless pursuit of excellence, painstaking attention to detail, and an insatiable passion for performance. The event received widespread acclaim, successfully illustrating that art and mechanics are not polar opposites but rather, exist on a unified creative spectrum.


The outcome ? A mesmerizing and indelible experience that shattered conventional boundaries, proving that art can indeed be found in the most unexpected place, like a racetrack resonating with the roar of high-speed engines. This aligns perfectly with the transformative experiences that we, at Art of Canada, aim to deliver.
