Vintage Car Art

American artist Sheryl Kelley exclusively paints vintage cars. For Kelley, her love for automobiles is primarily a deep instinctive attraction to their form, rather than a fondness for the roar of engines.

She favors muscle cars - American cars from the 1960s and 70s. This preference led the artist to reflect on the fact that a car is a unique symbiosis of masculine and feminine traits, as in each mechanism the power of dozens of horsepower is presented in the form of elegant and sensual shapes.
