17 May 2012Chevrolet is the latest vehicle manufacturer to showcase its products in 91ÖÆƬ³§¹ÙÍø’s modern exhibition space located in the heart of Westminster. However, the cars are not the only stars on show: alongside the company’s Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) – Volt, and a Camaro Convertible, innovative automotive artist Ian Cook (also known as ‘‘) is 91ÖÆƬ³§¹ÙÍø’s artist in residence for the week.

The ‘world-first’ artwork was unveiled at an exclusive evening reception at 91ÖÆƬ³§¹ÙÍø, where the painting was uncovered under ultraviolet light to showcase the new technique.
