Twists and turns of digital artist Chris Labrooy
If we could live in a digital reality, two things are for sure: we would live in always-sunny California & there would be Porsches as far as the eye could see.
Digital artist Chris Labrooy's love for sports cars and midcentury design is the ideal mix for his instantly recognizable 3D illustrations through which he explores timeless cars in unique situations.

His car obsession is the motto behind hyper-realistic computer-generated scenarios that bring car-culture to the max, including projects like Auto Aerobics, 911, Tales of Auto Elasticity, Cut and Shut, and Tokyo.

If classic cars already are timeless beauties that last a lifetime with durable (and forever classic) leather, digital-bended cars last even longer. The richness of design & architecture, even in surreal forms, gives his artworks that familiar reassurance and curiosity he's so good at.
And who doesn't love a disruptive American classic?
