Scott Wade's Dirty Car Art

These artworks are done by artist Scott Wade in a very creative way. The artist has make the dirty car the canvas for his artwork. The dust has then became the paint that he used to apply onto the 'canvas'. He has also cleverly managed to create the gradient of the 'painting' with the amount of dust wiped away from the windows of the car. The darker regions will be the regions that are cleared and hence showing the black colour of the window pan, the white regions will created by the colours of the dust.

The artist has cleverly used the grayscale created to depict many famous paintings such as the 'mona lisa' and 'the starry starry night' and also the realistic landscapes too (as shown above).

The artist has really showed the public that dust art is no worse that any other kinds of art medium. He showed us that if people put in effort in creating art, any thing can be turned into a beautiful piece of artwork.

This artist and the way he creates art really shows us that art can be created and expressed in different ways. The dirt on the car which was once so priceless and considered as waste has now become the new medium for art. This genre of art is a very good example. A dirty car has now became a new of valuable art. This shows that art works are all around us and everyone can create art if we have the eyes to look around and the creative mind to produce interesting and original pieces of artworks.

Art do not need to be always done in the style of oil or water paintings, new mediums of art could be explored too. In the modern society, the concept of art has changed tremendously. In the past, art has been considered a way to depict history and only a few ways of creating art were accepted. However, in the modern society, people are coming up with new ways to create art, ways that constantly surprise the public. The concept of art has changed to a way that if someone is able to appreciate the work and do acknowledge it to be a piece of artwork, there it will be considered as art.

There is, however, a down side to this new art medium. It is the fact that the artwork cannot sustain for a long period of time. As time passes, due to wind, rain and other environmental factors, the dust on the car may be washed or blown off and the artwork may be ruined in a short period of time. There are also many other mediums of art that cannot be sustained for a long period of time too. This process is unavoidable. For example, sand art and art that are made from the nature, like works of Andy Goldsworthy. I guess that sometimes when we are creating artworks, we cannot expect that our artworks will maintain in its original form forever. We need to accept the fact that one day, our artwork will be destroyed. Hence, as artists, we need to learn to let go and constantly creating new and better works.

This unique way of creating artworks has certainly opened a new approach to art. Now, people can then become even more daring and innovative when it comes to creating art pieces.
