Sara Watson: Invisible Car Art

May 6th 2009 13:07
Sara Watson, from Lanchashire in the UK has taken a battered old Skoda Fabia and painted it to merge with the surrounding car park. It took Sara three weeks to transform the car's appearance.

Sara is a second year student of drawing and design at the University of Central Lancashire (Uclan). She created the illusion in the car park outside her studio at Uclan's Hanover Building in Preston. The car is now being used for advertising by the local recycling firm (Recycling Lives) that donated the vehicle.

Not surprisingly, you can't see her ears.
Typical artist.
Except for the smile.
I'm a fan.

In the first picture she looks like Lindsay Lohan and in the second, she looks like Hannah Montana.

Lord have mercy, I need to put down the People Magazine!

That is a really cool concept for an art piece, though. Very inventive!

Brilliant. Absolute genius idea for advertising recycling, too - make the car disappear, nice analogy. Bet she's got ugly ears, though, Norm.

hi Norm,
ahh the ears, the ears!
they could have been chopped off in a nasty fencing lovers accident!



hi Natalina,
it is very inventive and very cool!
i can see what you mean about her resemblance to Lohan, i think its the freckles and how thin she is!



hi Spike,
all the best ideas come from the UK!
its a very creative way to give recycling some fresh exposure and get people to think about re-using old items for new purposes!



hi Whitney,
i did the same thing when i looked at it, i was thinking "is it a 2D cardboard cut-out? is it a mirage?" haha
optical illusions are fun!

OR
