Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:
The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed something puzzlingly different about this car.
Are the wing mirrors unusual? Are those chromed wheel-arch protectors non-standard? Is there something odd about the tyres?
No, pretty sure it’s not that.
Ah yes. Got it. Of course.
The whole car is bright green and covered with hand-painted octopus tentacles.
Those who are up to speed with what’s hot and what’s not in the esoteric world of contemporary art will have instantly recognised the signature ‘TENTA’ theme of London-based artist ‘Criatura’ (Spanish for ‘creature’).
He has wrapped his tentacles, so to speak, around all manner of subjects and products and earned an international following through exhibitions and shows in Frieze London, Art Basel, Miami and Tate Modern.
Why this mono-thematic approach, we hear you wondering?
Well, in the artist’s own words - “Convention tells you to paint everything one way. What If I paint one thing, every way?”
Which seems fair enough.
