ASRF Nationals Hot Rod Art Show and Photography Exhibition

Hot Rod Culture Art Show
This year’s Nationals will feature an art exhibit looking at hot rod culture, as well as an additional photography exhibition. ‘Hot Rods As Art’ looks at many of the different artistic aspects of hot rod culture.

The highlights of the show over the weekend will be the live tattooing by David Carta, as well as live pinstriping demonstrations by Tony Marks, both in the Council art galley! How cool is that? The exhibition will also feature automotive inspired art with everything from traditional paintings, air brushing, pinstriping, carvings and sculptures. It will also feature a pair of bobbers and some custom pushbikes, as well as a photobooth for rodders to document their tattoos!

The exhibition will feature a handful of automotive portraits by critically acclaimed artist Ben Quilty, who came second in this years Archibald Prize competition.The exhibition will be officially launched on Thursday night at 6pm by legendary rodder Larry O’Toole. There will also be a big ass banner out the front to make the gallery easier to find than the last nats.

Nope. Bob has given up materialistic society and decided to live under the Nepean River bridge. He was quite emotional you thought his art was worthy of such acclaim though.

My invitation must have been lost in the mail.
