I took an art history class in college. I remember little, but I do know that I enjoyed learning a bit about art and I’m a fan of a number of classic paintings. Also, one of my favorite scenes in the entire Ferris Bueller film is when they’re staring at all the different works of art, and the scene zooms deeper into Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.
That’s why I’m totally in love with this series I found on Road & Track. The above image is just one of many produced by photographer Freddy Fabris. He was with a friend at a garage while some work was being done on a car. Inspiration struck, and Fabris had a strong urge to recreate famous works of art using the garage and its inhabitants as his palette.
The resulting collection is called The Renaissance Series, and it’s an award-winning collection that you need to explore.

That is just fantastic. Wow.
Oh, great. Now if I have to take my car in for professional wrenching I can expect to be charged extra for artistic merit. Thanks a bunch.
Or you can artistically bring your car in for service and get a stipend!
