Alessandro Paglia ‘Smashed’ Iconic Movie Cars

In case you haven’t heard of Alessandro Paglia, he’s a Milan-based artist and designer educated in the world of product design that made his bones creating one-off, realistic drawings of iconic cars getting smashed to pieces from a top-down perspective. Iconic taxis from films. Dodge Chargers emblazoned with Americana. Herbie the Love Bug. The ever-influential DMC Delorean. Paglia has virtually smashed all of those vehicles for each one of his pieces in a way that’s curious, intriguing and relevant without having harmed any of the iconic vehicles each piece is based on in the process. In other words, he makes automobilia art based on some of your favorite rides that you’ll want to hang on all of your walls–without sacrificing the vehicles you’ve grown to love through Hollywood epics.
