Iconsiam presents art on wheels

Cute toy characters designed by leading Thai artists are showcased alongside American custom cars during "Carventure Classic Car", which is running at River Park Iconsiam until Sunday.

Held for the first time in Thailand in collaboration with ArtVentureNFT, this is the first chance to see nine toy figures riding their favourite vehicles inspired by nine rare classic cars exhibited on the same grounds.

Each toy character has a unique personality and visitors can experience holographic technology for copyright scanning, which offers AR motion images embedded with fun features through the ArtVentureNFT application.

The nine toy characters include "Splash Racer x 1958 Chevrolet Impala" designed by Pexcil to evoke childhood memories of building paper cars with tape, glue and coloured pencils; "Greenie & Elfie x 1960 Cadillac Convertible" by Too Natthapong who took inspiration from car racing in the 60s and 70s; and "World Boy x 1952 Cadillac" by Puck which is reminiscent of a time traveller.

A creation by Nonworld, "Qtako x 1959 Lincoln Convertible" is inspired by the adventures of Dr Slump and Arale in the famous Japanese cartoon series of the 1980s; "Korn Doll x 1948 Ford F1" by Korn Neeyabhan symbolises resilience and toughness; while "Dylie x 1967 Cadillac" by Jwon evokes classic Italian mafia imagery with a mafia boss at the wheel.

The last three characters are "Kongrit x 1955 Dodge Town Panel" which comes with a mafia-style security guard with a tommy gun by Kaze Studio; "Ai-Sam-Ta x 1950 Buick Custom" by Pakorn; and "Bored Ape Colonel Gold Fang x 1955 Cadillac" by Jeerawut Boonchuynampon that invites viewers to connect the past with the digital world through NFT Bored Ape Yacht Club.
