Mercedes Wallpainting

220 x 500cm (6 x 16 feet)

Acrylics on multiplex panel

This painting measures approximately six by sixteen feet. Four Multiplex panels served as a base and came fully prepared with a special undercoat to improve adhesion. On top of that came a multi-layered white basecoat applied with a large paint roller. Incidentally, the composition has been arranged as such that, when separated, each panel can be used as a smaller painting in itself.

The artwork is sealed with a special transparent, waterbased coating which is used to protect laminated floors. This makes it extremely resistant and waterproof. The people on the painting are not the pilots of the McLaren-Mercedes team, but the children of the client who ordered the artwork.
