Great Auto Art on a Grand Scale

Filed in archive Automotive Art on May 27, 2010

This is the work of an artist who likes to paint big. Really big. In fact the Silver Arrows mural, commissioned by Audi USA in 1994, is one of his smaller works at a mere 10 x 24 feet. John Gable also created The History of the Automobile for the Automotive Hall of Fame in Dearborn, Michigan. At 12 x 65 feet is the largest since Diego Rivera's famous "Detroit Industry" in 1933.

Specializing in painting murals and large canvases of the automobile and its effect on society, John offers his work through Car Art, Inc., where owner Peter Aylett says that "new artists are a rarity here. Almost 450 from 36 countries have applied but we only accept the best. Ideally, each one brings something distinctively different to our stable."



Unfortunately the vast size of these murals means that a blog page can't possibly do them credit. The Age of Style and Design, above, created for Clyde's Restaurant in Chevy Chase, Maryland, is a good example at 8 x 120 feet. Thus I've only shown a small portion of this stunning artwork.
