Artwork Inspiration:
This mixed media aluminum artwork takes inspiration from the pulsating rhythm of English DJ James Hype's 2022 global club hit "Ferrari," - a song that captures the intensity of romantic desire through the metaphor of a high-speed car. The phrase 'You still make my heart beat fast, Ferrari' suggests that the person the singer is addressing has a powerful effect on them, akin to the out of control adrenaline rush you feel when being driven in a Ferrari.
The artwork mirrors the song's metaphor featuring anatomical engravings of a human heart and double halftone screen prints of the Ferrari Testarossa, which was an automotive icon of the 1980’s / 90’s driven by many celebrities such as Mike Tyson, Michael Jordon and Dr Dre to name a few. The choice of the Testerossa hints at an underlying message: True passion can be timeless, just like a classic car that retains its appeal despite the passage of years !
