Alastair Gibson, former BAR Honda Chief F1 Mechanic has combined his love for sculpture and car parts knowledge into wonderful works of art. Recently displayed at the Chelsea Art Fair, Gibson’s creations are basically familiar sea and fresh water creatures that include sharks, piranhas, trouts, ans more. The sculptures are made from carbon fiber and real discarded Honda F1 car parts. The details of his fishes are really unique and amazing, even down to the teeth and fins, with some of the sculptures measuring up to two and a half meters long. Another creature also includes a hammerhead shark, which is one of the more impressive and more detailed works in the collection.
His works have been exhibited in the 2003 Lucky Strike Tribe Art Exhibitions, which started at the Boiler House, Brick Lane, London and then moved to Tokyo, Milan, Frankfurt, Jakarta and a solo exhibition in Rome. Alastair has exhibited in galleries in Cape Town and Johannesburg South Africa, London, Monaco and recently at the 2009 Chelsea Art Fair.
Now having completed his third year as a full time artist, Alastair is being recognised as a forerunner in carbon fibre sculpture and is busy with a number of private commissions and new projects.
