Car art gone good: Beetle Sphere

• 
• 

This piece of art, by Indonesian artist Ichwan Noor is a couple of years old, but we hadn’t come across it before. It is made of a 1953 VW Beetle which appears to have been turned into a ball, just like a snowball made in your own hands. Noor used polyester and aluminium to get to this result. And it’s not on its own. Click here for more of Noor’s spherical and cubical Beetles.

We absolutely love it, and think it’s the best Beetle based bit of car art since Ivan Puig’s ‘Bug sunk in milk’. Don't moan; with almost 22 million Beetles produced, there is place for turning them into something else. Well, as long as you do it well. There have of course been plenty of examples of Beetle car art gone wrong, too…
