The artwork done on the automobiles is known as auto painting. Auto paintings age back to 1930s and were most popular till 1950s.
The automobiles produced during those years had a chic look with
these auto paintings on their curving, bulbous body lines.
The body panels and the chromed bumpers of an automobile are polished
so nicely that they could reflect any object in its surroundings. Moreover, the shapes of the automobiles are sophisticated,
depicting scene within a scene. |

Even today, the auto paintings are considered to be rich in
creative thinking. There is a huge competition among the body
shops that create unique and outrageous designs ever seen.
With true color and rich designs, the auto paintings steal
away one's heart. There are two types of artwork that are
popular. Those are acrylic automobile painting of earlier series, and the
other one is mixed media Wall series. You can see the complex
relationship between the shape and color.
According to Rigby, a famous painter in auto paintings,
the tri-year classics, that is, the Chevrolet's models
of 55, 56, and 57 had the curvy, anthropomorphic lines
that were quite fascinating.
He loved his dream of converting the ordinary automobile
to a rocket ship by his auto paintings.
Moreover, his brush had the magic of bringing the
Vintage cars, fire trucks and other cars into life.
Spontaneity and natural are the characteristics of
Wall series work, which mainly targets the mixed media
on wood.

Moreover, the visual situations those are not for general
public form the basis for this work. In this kind of work,
you get more relaxed and less formal and aesthetic finishing

on are few examples of auto paintings. Wall Seris: 3, Holman
Hall, Wall Series: 84, Column 2 and so on are few examples
