Holman Motorcars in FL Hosts Rolls-Royce Enhanced by Contemporary Artist
by Auto Remarketing Staff
There’s not been an exotic model quite like this one in a dealership showroom.During an exclusive event at Holman Motorcars, hosted in partnership with Supercar Rooms Miami, renowned contemporary artist Bradley Theodore transformed a Rolls-Royce Ghost into a one-of-a-kind work of art, adding his trademark colorful flair to this iconic vehicle that the company said embodies the pinnacle of luxury.
The dealership highlighted the Rolls-Royce featuring Theodore’s distinct artistic stylings will be on display at Holman Motorcars in Fort Lauderdale, FL, for a limited time, and guests are invited to visit the dealership through June 18 to get an up-close-and-personal view of this vehicle.
The prestigious Rolls-Royce Ghost served as Theodore’s canvas for this collaboration with Holman Motorcars. Over the course of two days, Theodore added his contemporary street style to the vehicle, evolving the Rolls-Royce Ghost into his latest masterpiece, “creating a truly unique fusion of artistic expression and automotive craftsmanship,” according to a dealership news release.
A staple of the South Florida artistic landscape, Holman mentioned Theodore is best known for his colorful paintings and prints of fashion icons.
Theodore is a multi-disciplinary artist whose iconoclastic approach to art can be found internationally from 10-foot murals on the streets of New York, Tokyo and Milan to sold-out solo exhibits in London.
“Evoking the universality of color, skeletons and celebrity, Theodore distills figures to skeletal forms, a confrontation that the artist calls ‘an act of living,’ pushing color to express memory, emotion and lived experiences,” Holman said.
