The concept of the SPORTART was born in Tuscany, Italy, where both fields are extremely popular and encouraged. For centuries ART has been used to portray the human activity of sport.
And sport in itself expresses and strives, in some ways, for the ART of body, ART of movement, ART of action.
The SPORTART has the HELMET as the focal point. The helmet is both the driver’s protector and also, in view at all times to the public and therefore would be a perfect canvas for the ARTWORK.
Each participating artist exhibits his particular art idea onto the surface of the helmet.
The helmets, finished by the artists, together with the racing car of the Italian driver Salvatore De Plano are to be on view at the ART & SPACE GALLERY during the show.
