From our old pal Kevin Cyr comes this fantastic collection of paintings all done of motor vehicles, especially trucks. Each of these trucks is rusted and painted, marked to uniqueness by those art outlaws of the environment, those graffiti writers. Kevin Cyr paints each vehicle with loving grace, making real sure to translate each detail with specificity. More than 16 cars in all, all painted on canvas.

Wonderfully gorgeous urban artifacts, transformed to flatness by a modern-day naturalist, Kevin Cyr. He’s done several projects with cars, none so simply aesthetically pleasing as this one.

I commemorate commercial vehicles inundated with graffiti and rust, working vehicles, and well-traveled recreational vehicles. I find that there is so much character in old delivery trucks and vans — especially when covered with graffiti — and in the old RVs parked off a main road. Removing them from their everyday context gives them portrait-like importance. I paint with devoted attention to every imperfection and sign of age. – Kevin Cyr
