Light is not only captured, but refracted; form is not only seen, but reimagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eCrystal Lightning\u003c\/i\u003e is a geometric study of Roy Lichtenstein’s 1977 BMW 320i Group 5 Race Version Art Car. Centred on the striking lightning bolt that marks the car’s engine kill switch, the work isolates a moment of functional design and elevates it into visual language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eEchoing the bold geometry and constructivist linework synonymous with Lichtenstein’s practice, the composition draws on a 1950s graphic sensibility—clean, assertive, and rhythmically structured. Through crystallisation, the piece introduces a new layer of materiality and light, offering a subtle nod to the flamboyant, high-gloss theatricality of David Bowie’s glam rock era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eProduced in strictly limited numbers, each piece offers collectors an intersection of rarity, craftsmanship, and visual intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003ePhotography by Mark T Goddard\u003cbr\u003eHand-set and embellished by Sequin Kay\u003cbr\u003eCrystals by Swarovski\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eShipping is an extra cost; price and delivery options are determined by location, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSize A1 (Giclee German Etching, Foamex)\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"abstract autos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52883027165512,"sku":null,"price":6300.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0892\/8336\/3144\/files\/CrystalLightning-Singular.jpg?v=1775904252","url":"https:\/\/www.abstractautos.com\/products\/crystal-lightning-crystal-car-series","provider":"abstract autos","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
