Pop Bang

Artist Ian Cook unveiled his latest work at the showrooms of sponsor Chevrolet, who were promoting their new all electric car the Volt.

Ian has an unusual style of painting, he doesn't use paintbrushes.. It all began a few years ago when he was given a remote control car for his birthday. "Don't get paint on it" he was told. What a crazy thing to say to a boy. Instantly he thought wow what a great idea. Next thing we know cars are zooming all over his canvases.

His latest crazy idea was to create a piece in fluorescent paint. His sponsor Chevrolet were so keen on this idea they decided to film it. All this had to be done in pitch black.

The painting above is the outcome. It doesn't glow the same way on screen as in reality, but you get the idea.

For a few minutes I was a flapper driving my way to a grand country house for the weekend.

In reality I was in BMW's showroom in Parklane.

For just a couple more days you can get up close to these great vintage BMW's before they head home to the BMW museum in Berlin. They are being shown here in London to let you know that any part you want for the cars sitting in your garage can be bought here.

Cars from 1903 to the 1980's are on show.
