HOOD ART

Cars, automobiles, are always subjects of policy debates. we commissioned Alex, an established mural artist, to acquire a bonnet hood of a very common car model, and paint it beautifully in hopes that owners of the same model would be interested in trading in their hoods with a designed piece. it is intended the ones traded in would be decorated by other artists. and given time multiple cars of this model would be decorated, starting from the hood, through to the body. it is assumed that a beautiful looking vehicle would have longer street value and not be replaced easily. Alex took inspiration from the boat hawkers of live and dried seafood, and adding a touch of his personal style, painted a part of life in the small ex-fishing town of Sai Kung.
