Joshua Vides' groundbreaking art project, 'Flat Out: The Art of Joshua Vides,' showcases his unique technique of hand-painting real cars and a gallery space to resemble flat black-and-white drawings.

At the Petersen Automotive Museum, five vehicles, along with walls, tools, and signs, are meticulously painted to create an illusion of cartoon-like simplicity.

Vides' method, called 'Reality to Idea,' involves sharp black lines on white surfaces, transforming solid objects into two-dimensional art.The process requires extreme precision, as any mistake is irreversible.Each car receives individualized treatment, with details like a Ferrari 308 GTS plate reading 'J.Vides' and a Mercedes retaining its iconic three-pointed star.

The project, completed in nine days, highlights the challenge of maintaining consistency across diverse shapes while emphasizing the artistic value of minimalism.

Vides' work has previously adorned sneakers, guitars, and tech products for brands like Nike, Converse, Fendi, and Google, demonstrating his ability to merge art with functionality.
