Sculpting Speed: Auto Art by Tony Sikorski

Posted on December 23, 2009 by RLD

Tony Sikorski is an award-winning artist with a penchant for cars — particularly, 1930s Formula 1 and vintage racing vehicles. His career began back in the ‘60s, but it wasn’t until 1995 that he started creating the one-of-a-kind automobile sculptures that would make him famous. At first, he worked solely in corrugated cardboard, later adding more durable wood and stainless steel to his materials list. Capturing the power, speed, and motion of vehicles in action, Sikorski’s stylized automotive sculptures have been displayed at several invitational exhibitions (including in the auto art gallery at SEMA), and have been featured in such magazines as AutoWeek, Automobile, Car Collector, Robb Report, and Classic and Sportscar Magazine, who recently ranked Tony as one of the top 20 motoring artists of the past 20 years.
