"LES PLUS BELLES ANNEES D'UNE VIE" - This is my second Tribute to Claude LELOUCH, born from a collaboration with the lucky owner of the Ford Mustang 184 ( exact replica of the one that shot in 1966 in "Un homme et une femme" and which was destroyed in a fire). This Mustang participated in the sequel shot in 2018 by Claude Lelouch and released in theaters on my birthday!!! May 22, 2019. For this original realization, the Mustang 184 rolls on the Boards of Deauville, as in the 2 films, and wink of eye, I added Jean Louis Trintignant at its wheel.

I am very happy and very proud to have realized this work at the request of the owner of the Mustang 184. A way to pay homage to our common passion for the immense director of the 50 films, which offered to DEAUVILLE and the most romantic car of the world, an international fame. All this under the tenderized look of Bull The Dog.

"One can seriously love the automobile without taking oneself seriously": this is the credo of Bixhope Art, a painter who changes our view of cars.

For him, the automobile is the most beautiful conquest of man, it symbolizes evolution, progress, freedom, emancipation, pleasure, dream.

Bixhope Art fell into the cauldron of art as a child. From his father, a painter, he keeps the memory of the hours spent together in the studio, the visits to exhibitions and the animated discussions on the artistic trends. In 1974, father and son discovered the American hyperrealist painters. A trigger that will shape the course of their lives! However, it was not until 2019 that Bixhope Art, now 50 years old, allowed himself to paint his first work. A gift for one of his children, and very quickly followed by many other achievements. Creative bulimia of an artist caught - almost in spite of himself - by painting!

Omnipresent in the work of Bixhope Art, the cinema and the car are the two passions that dictate the rhythm of his daily life. Here again, childhood is never far away and the artist is inexhaustible when it comes to evoking the Porsche 911 that aroused his admiration at the age of 7. A car with an orange color that inspired him to paint "Orange Mechanic". With its title in the form of a wink to the cinema, this work sums up wonderfully the work of the artist. We find Bull The Dog, a facetious and colorful dog that has become a recurring character in the work of Bixhope Art.

Halfway between pop art and hyperrealism, the style of Bixhope Art is full of color and joy. An assertive counterpoint to the prevailing gloom, which gives his original creations a freshness that we never tire of. Made with acrylics, these pieces transport us into a world of gleaming chrome, dazzling curves and legendary bodywork. Ayrton Senna and Steve McQueen are among them. Iconic figures resurrected before our eyes!

He has participated in numerous exhibitions since 2020, Art3F Monaco, Art Shopping Paris, Auto Moto Rétro Rouen, Sonia Monti Paris, Van Gogh Madrid, Honfleur, Retromobile Paris, Porsche Casting Deauville, 1000 Alpines for Jean Rédélé Dieppe...

His creations were presented during 1 year in the showrooms of the Porsche Centers of Rouen and Caen and are permanently presented in the Alpine showroom of Deauville.
