Beetle Sphere: Volkswaen Bubble Bug at NGV
The National Gallery of Victoria is currently featuring this installation by Indonesian artist Ichwan Noor, entitled Beetle Sphere.
Based on a 1953 Volkswagen, it’s one of a series of sculptures based on 20th century car design.
According to the gallery, rather than damage a real example, Noor carved a spherical interpretation of the car, then cast it in aluminium. The final product was finished with the use of some real car parts.
Find out more about the artist, Ichwan Noor, and his Beetle sphere, here.
