Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
announces further details of renowned Emirati artist Mohammed Kazem’s
new commission for the Rolls-Royce Art Programme in 2016 and presents
a series of images and video content documenting his experience. Kazem
will create a commissioned sculpture for the Art Programme, which will
be presented in late 2016 alongside a Bespoke motor car inspired by
the sculpture. Supported by Rolls-Royce, Kazem has been working with
an artistic production team at Sitterwerk studios in Switzerland on
the creation of the sculpture, giving him access to cutting-edge
technology and leading expertise.
Mohammed Kazem, commenting on his work for the Art Programme and
his collaboration with Sitterwerk, said, “Rolls-Royce has enabled me
to create a sculptural work for the first time and has given me the
freedom to create the work the way I would like, which is key. Working
with Marc Krcek and the team at Sitterwerk has been a wonderful
professional and artistic collaboration which I’m grateful to have had
the opportunity to be a part of.”
On working with Kazem, artist Marc Krcek commented, “Working
with Mohammed was impressive and he was very professional. He had a
very clear vision as to what his sculpture should look like in the
end, and what feeling its shape should convey. Especially for the
first steps of production, it was important to work together closely
with him here in Switzerland, in order to find the appropriate
materials and the most suitable way of production. Mohammed was also
amenable for the technical aspects of the process and the necessary
adaptions to the design, which we had to make in order to enable this
kind of production.”
Mohammed Kazem joins eminent artists from around the world who
have been commissioned by the marque to create unique works of art.
