Cars and culture: our driving passions

a painting by Stewart MacFarlane, 1993.


Cars inspire new alliances in art. Stewart MacFarlane creates in oil paints the look of cars in cinema and pulp thrillers.
His painting also captures part of the appeal of driving cars. The solitary driver’s sense of possibility and of unease, his detached immersion in the flow of drivers and town — what other experience can produce this combination of sensations?
