BMW Art Car 11
The A.R. Penck Z1, 1991
The original car:
The Penck Z1 was one of around 8000 examples produced by BMW. The Z1 was initially only intended as a concept vehicle, but strong public reaction lead to the BMW Technik demonstrator seeing a limited production run, which then kicked of the modern era rebirth of BMW Roadsters.
The Artist:
A.R. Penck was born Ralf Winkler in 1939 in Dresden, Germany - and died in Switzerland in 2017. The Penck name was one of several aliases that Winkler lived or worked under throughout his life.
There is a selection of works here that display Penck’s art, https://www.moma.org/artists/4546
What is it?:
On the surface of it, the cave painting style seems obvious, and is a style much used by Penck. Slightly deeper inspirations apparently came from Picasso and Rembrandt. It’s often said that his interest in sciences and numbers are also present - I think there is some simple rhythm, lot’s of 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 to the strokes or designs (look for X, XX, XXX, or designs with one stroke, then two, then three - like the designs on the right wing for instance) There’s a T motiff used often which seems to be a reference to another of Winkler's aliases, Mike Hammer, and also his Jazz Band, Triple Trip Touch (or T T T).
My Livery:
The body had a Rouge Rubi base colour. As the design is in no way flowing, nor does it follow the car body, it was pretty simple to just draw up each decal and place in an appropriate spot. Since the real car is a convertible clearly the biggest difference is the presence of decals on the roof. These were shifted from the bonnet and roof cover onto the roof - which kinda works because they were too cluttered when on the original panels. All the designs from the real car are present, and none on my livery were made up. No changes were made in GT7. I’d give it 90-95% accurate.
Total Layers: 44 / Total Decals: 36 (34 Custom Decals)

NOT Editable there's a stick penis on the bonnet, and you're just going to have to live with it.
Comments and criticism welcome, if you do use it, I’d appreciate a like and share for the livery in the game.
