An art car, picturesque vehicle explicitly designed to pour in one’s emotions, thoughts, feelings, expressions in an artistic manner on a raw ordinary piece of metal called car, which is owned and driven by the artists themselves. Such artists are also acknowledged as ‘Cartists’. Cartists have their own individual perception and philosophy of life which they drain in the art cars to depict their values, beliefs and above unique, idiosyncratic ideas. When a Cartist displays his piece of art, he is generally found in attire which complements the theme of art.
There is no fear of competition, or comparison between the two art cars, as it’s a depiction of one’s stance and perspective of life. There is no such existence of a bad or an awful art car. There can’t be any pre-defined attributes or parameters designed for the measurement of a good art car, because principles thoughts, and emotions have no paradigm or gauge sticks. Cartists are not trained artists mastering the field of artwork but they are dedicated to their own self. They derive immense pride and sense of gratification by driving a classic sample, an art car. They are the creator and inventor, who dwell in a dream world of art.
Such art cars can be driven by the people as in their normal daily routine or meant to be displayed in an art car show or could be owned as an object to flaunt.
Most prominent names that shine in the art car industry are Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Janis Joplin, Larry Fuente and many more. Art car culture is widespread throughout the world, covering all the East, West directions. An art car museum is opening up shortly in Douglas, Arizona, featuring the world’s best art cars, to preserve and uphold the most exhilarating itinerant art form. The museum has a total capacity to exhibit 42 art cars, which will be displayed on a rotary motion. The major attraction to this wonderful brainchild is that it supports bi linguist communication network with a future proposal of organizing grand art car events on a massive scale.

Use of tools such as glue, bolts, magnets, welding stuff, rope and other forms of decoration material can be used to embellish an art car. An art car presentation is a source of imparting the social mess manner.
The art cars are not vaguely painted; every chunk of work is a deliberate effort which has a specific purpose behind its conception. It is been observed that a lot many art car artists have a keen inclination towards the musical elements in their creation. The rationale behind the art car is the expression of individual’s inspiration, notion, opinion and brainwave. Art car is the origination of a masterpiece from the fantasy world of an artist, practicality, realism, authenticity are far from the inimitable sculpture created by a Cartist.
