Ian Cook from Popbang colour has a novel way to create his Artwork of iconic racing cars, he uses Radio Controlled Cars!
Auto drawing is a key development in Ian Cook’s most recent artwork. Cook best describes himself as predominately a ‘contemporary painter’ using colour to effectively create images. Ian gives the definition of ‘Popbang’ as a friendly explosion of colour.
Auto Drawings- radio controlled artwork started after he received a radio controlled car as an unexpected gift by a then girlfriend, he was then told “don’t take it down your studio, and don’t get paint on it!” Cook soon started applying paint using using the car wheels. The tyres created marks and lines; following various experiments and developments within his studio, it was clear that colourful abstracts and imagery could effectively be created.
