I have found the corps of an old Russian radio receiver in an old parent’s attic. The idea what to do with it came up not at once, therefore, for some time it was thrown to the corner. Probably everything has its time… One day I took it to the daylight, turned up and then I came up with the idea to make a car – old, threadbare, rusty vintage roadster. As far as the corps is made of a real radio I wanted to match everything to such a topic. I came up with the idea that a sitting driver listening to a radio station M-1 would perfectly fit, moreover, that is one of my favourite radio stations, therefore, I got down to carry out the idea.

The main details:

The corps is a Russian radio receiver of 1952, aluminum tray, a tank part dedicated to investigate, a wooden handle of an umbrella, ventilation grill of a tractor and car bends;
Wheels are taken out of a childish carriage;
A driver has been made by gluing a simulation;
A seat of a driver has been made of a female slipper sole.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Metals

Sculpture technique using metal, generally malleable, ductile and light-reflecting material.

Aluminium

Sculpture technique using aluminium, the most malleable metal with a silvery appearance.

Plaster

Sculpture technique using a white powder obtained by cooking and grinding gypsum and which, when mixed in water, hardening provides a solid material.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

Technic Sculpture

Artūras Tamašauskas is a "Steampunk" Lithuanian sculptor. His sculptures are exceptional, each unique and distinctive. Tamašauskas describes his sculptures as concrete, clear and at the same time asking them to look for what is invisible to the eye and to think about them. They are like living interior elements.

Tamašauskas is using the most diverse materials for work starting from wares, antiquarians and ending with rubbish that is useless. He is transforming an item that was thrown and useless, giving it the opportunity to exist in a new shape, in a new form, new existence in artistic expression. Steampunk style lovers from Lithuania, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Sweden, France, Poland, USA and Australia have some of his works in their private collections.

Artūras Tamašauskas was born in 1963, in Lithuania, and he has exhibited his works all across the country.
