Hilux Box

2014

"Hilux Box" by Matias Faldbakken is a work created with ink on cardboard that engages with everyday industrial materials and commercial culture. The artist's choice to work on cardboard, a utilitarian substrate, reflects his broader practice of elevating banal objects and surfaces found in urban environments into aesthetic consideration. By rendering a Toyota Hilux truck (a ubiquitous utility vehicle) through ink drawing on this humble material, Faldbakken creates a conceptual dialogue between the artwork's formal qualities and the mass produced, functional items that populate contemporary life.
