Artist Matthew Harrison unveiled his latest project entitled 'HUMMER' at England's fifth Zoo Art Fair - a Hummer H3 complete with wooden wagon wheels, the iconic installation was parked on Old Burlington Road, opposite the Royal Academy of Arts for the duration of the fair.
Harrison was exhibiting on behalf of East London gallery, Limoncello, one of 57 under six year old galleries, project spaces, artists collectives, curatorial groups and publications showcasing works from some of the most exciting art talent in the world.
Harrison has combined the legendary off-road vehicle with 'Wild West' wooden wheels to create a sculpture that is a mixture of art, engineering and motoring. For Harrison, the crux of the 'HUMMER' is formed by both its 'being' and its afterlife.
Johnny Amiouni, marketing manager of Hummer, General Motors Middle East Operations comments: "Similar to Hummer, this sculpture really is like nothing else. As well as being built for action, the H3 certainly has a unique, iconic style that truly shines through in this exhibition."
