Airbrush-2010: leather, fur and Pokemon

At Khodynka for the sixth time together artists and owners of luxury cars in the festival "Aerograph-2010. Some of the most notable exhibits were wrapped in leather Peugeot 406, a bright yellow Zaporozhets with Ukrainian motifs and Moskvich Duet with illustrations on the theme of Soviet rallies. Weather on June 19 stood out sunny and hot. Perhaps that is why the participants in the festival this year was smaller than last year, when the city poured rain. Lovers of cars rushed to the nature of the catch cherished summer weather which recently not fall so often. Still, the exhibits were quite enough to satisfy the eyes of all who came. The exhibition is divided into two zones: the first were the work of professional artists, tuning studio and studios, museum exhibits, and the second - private car owners, who came to show their cars. Many of the drawings was not the first time come to the festival of airbrushing, but to say that these machines are difficult to become familiar. Over the years, traces some trends in airbrushing. At first, the drawings on the machines could not afford mostly wealthy people. In addition, there is a perception that the airbrush is a kind of talisman against theft - prom car is not so easy to steal and resell. During the development of this art in our country, the machines are found mostly brutal images: wolves, werewolves, tech, weapons ... "Now there is no airbrushing some fashion trends, - says the artist Nicholas - each figure is adjusted for a particular car and its owner. In Europe the brand will not draw Japanese characters just because it's fashionable. " Each machine in the exhibition - an individual project, the work of more than one day. But especially want to highlight Peugeot 406, which have changed beyond recognition in the "Workshop exclusive tuning. The machine is completely covered with genuine calf leather, which vytisneny deer and Chukchi. Salon also completely redone: leather upholstered dash, doors, flooring, steering wheel and gear lever and the seats are made of natural fur. According to representatives of the workshop Mila, just outside pastiche cost the owner $ 3 million rubles! Not only foreign cars can boast an interesting painted on their bodies. Some domestic machines are also a lucky chance to shine napolirovannymi sides to the audience. For example, the Museum of the retro cars brought one of his exhibits - Duet-2 Moskvich, one of the last cars built by AZLK. Feature of this machine is that it was going to hand. Such double Muscovites released only a dozen. On the back compartment of this exotic scenes from the World Rally stories AZLK. A little more modest in the background looks Moskvich VAZ-2104. This machine for about 30 years, but she regularly serves in a Moscow firm. It depicts a portrait of Lenin and a piece of the newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda". Driver Nicholas painted it himself, he told me that painted on the hood of the newspaper - is authentic. He found her in old things, and "copied" to the machine. Continuing the theme of the Soviet automobile industry at the Festival of airbrushing, it is worth mentioning an old Zaporozhets, who came from the Kaluga region. The machine is painted in bright yellow, but on the side of the line drawn by the flowers in the Ukrainian style. Trailer at this car, painted by an old truck, too, the Ukrainian motifs. Just to "airbrush-2010" came last year's winner of one of the nominations - a bright orange Moskvich patterned on an autumn theme - foxes, squirrels, autumn leaves, the sunset over the river One of the new trends - airbrushing a matte finish. Work is the same, but not shiny. "The matte make ornaments or any other pictures, like portraits or characters - noted artist Michael - this kind of painting implies a dimly image. And here is a typical example - Mercedes-Benz with frosted body and the angels on the hood. The illuminated and other auto show students MPHI and brought to Airbrush a "terrible» Chevrolet Camaro 1963. Originally this car was arbitrary copy of the car from the movie "Death Race". But over time, the Russian equivalent of healed his own life - at each subsequent exhibition in his appearance there is something new. At this time, aluminum body color change the black-green flowers. Look at the work of airbrush could stand Dei Shagurovoy. The artist painted directly on the "bright yellow Hyundai Coupe, inflicting on him the image of Pokemon. Furthermore, especially curious onlookers gave easels and brushes to paint: anyone could draw something from memory. Among the exhibitors there are more motorcycles. The most representative bikes - Cruisers Honda Goldwing. Their owners - pretty specific audience, so their doroguschy motorcycles they prefer to paint in the Russian style, under Khokhloma or gzhel. At this year's "Airbrush" come and junior representatives motobratstva - the guys from the club's fans of retro scooters, whose vintage scooters are painted in bright colors. Airbrushing now become more accessible and car owners with the artists often resorted to a rather bold experiment. Some artists do so accurate detail, it seems that not a picture before my eyes, and nature. The color palette over the years has become much brighter on exhibits are increasingly found with simple patterns, cartoon characters, characters of famous movies ... These pictures set up on the positive, which is so lacking on our roads. Text: Olga Zabelkina. Photos: Olga Zabelkina.
