Twisted Cars Star in These Surreal Digital Sculptures

The center chunk of California is full of farmland and highways that seem to roll on forever, miles of homogeneous vistas interspersed only by truck stops for drivers traveling long distances. Designer Chris LaBrooy plays with the concept of “Californian road trips through deserted baron lands [sic],” and adds a twist—literally—on the almost mythological theme, mutating and manipulating American cars and trucks as if they were elastic. Through aesthetics that reference a sleek combination of Gumby with the movie Cars, Labrooy stages his renderings in empty parking lots and truck stops, coloring their backdrops the polluted pink haze of California’s sunsets.

The series, Tales of Auto Elasticity, is a continuation of Labrooy's 2013 project, Auto Aerobics, which features more impossibly manipulated motor vehicles. This practice of reimagining malleable industrial machines can also seen in the air, in the form of the Flight Intestine series' melting Boeings. Below, see Tales of Auto Elasticity in all its uncanny Americana-inspired glory:
