Backseat Driver by Rob Rek  - is an exquisite example of the photo realistic style with which the artist’s name has become synonymous.

This piece is set against a dramatically simplistic ultra white background focusing attention exclusively on the subject - An iconic 1972 Rolls Royce Corniche, and the spectacular greater bird of paradise perching on the stowed convertible top. 

The artists hyperrealist style captures the ornate beauty of the iconic Corniche with startling detail and in large scale, one quarter the size of the vehicle itself.  An exclusive shade of iridescent blue used only by Rolls Royce is skillfully recreated by the artist. Details are mind bendingly accurate given their scale, such as the spirit of Exstacy hood ornament which measures under 3cms. 

For the indigenous people of Indonesia, Birds of Paradise hold a special place in their mythology and folklore. These magnificent creatures are believed to be messengers from the spirit world, bridging the gap between humans and the divine. They are seen as symbols of fertility, prosperity, and good luck.

The artwork is a modern adaptation of the ancient Dutch Vanitas style, which invites the viewer to consider their mortality and questions the significance of placing value on impermanent pursuits such as material wealth, beauty and status.
