About the Item

Gabrielle Benot (Latvian, born 1978) "Big Rubber" 2024 Acrylic paint, Rice paper, Resin, Mixed Media, Canvas, Stretcher bars The artist signed the bottom right of the painting. "Big Rubber" by Gabrielle Benot stands as a powerful homage to motorsport heritage, where the legendary '75 Vasek Polak Porsche RSR serves not just as a subject but as a vessel for the raw spirit of racing history. Spanning an impressive 36" x 48" canvas, this piece captivates with its dynamic energy and bold strokes that challenge the boundaries between automotive art and abstract expression. The composition is a thrilling blend of classic racing livery colors - whites, blues, and reds - woven together into a visceral tapestry of speed and nostalgia. Benot masterfully employs her signature Guscio technique, layering acrylic and silk paper collages to create a textured surface that seems to vibrate with the echoes of screaming engines and squealing tires. Sharp lines and geometric forms evoke the angular beauty of the RSR's iconic silhouette, while splashes and drips of paint capture the chaotic beauty of a machine pushed to its limits on the IMSA GT circuit. This painting invites viewers to transcend mere observation and immerse themselves in the golden age of sports car racing, feeling the heat of competition and the relentless pursuit of victory. The title, "Big Rubber," speaks to the visceral, physical nature of vintage racing, where man and machine merge in a dance of power and precision. It's a nod to the massive tires that defined the era's aesthetic and performance, leaving their mark on both asphalt and imagination. Inspired by the car's appearance at Luftgekühlt, the brainchild of Porsche ambassador and Le Mans winner Patrick Long, this artwork bridges past and present. It celebrates not just a specific vehicle, but the enduring passion that connects generations of enthusiasts and racers. "Breaking Barriers" and "Big Rubber" are two iconic automotive contemporary masterpieces, each representing a bold leap in artistic expression within the automotive world. These works can be purchased together at a specially reduced rate, offering collectors an exceptional opportunity to acquire both pieces and enhance their collection. About the Artist: Gabrielle Benot, born in Latvia, has rapidly become one of the most exciting voices in contemporary automotive art. Her works are groundbreaking, bold, and imbued with a deep reverence for racing heritage combined with a fearless approach to artistic conventions. Trained at the Royal Fashion Academy in Copenhagen, Benot's unique vision blends influences from high-performance engineering, global travels, and a profound appreciation for the emotive power of texture and form. Benot's Guscio technique, a multimedia approach involving layers of paint, paper, and various materials, creates a depth and complexity that rewards repeated viewing. Her art transcends mere representation, inviting viewers to explore the emotional and spiritual dimensions of speed, mechanical beauty, and the timeless allure of motorsport legends. Signed on the back by Patrick Long at the 2024 Air Water event, adding a touch of racing royalty to this already extraordinary piece. Original, 1-of-1.
