Jordan Griska Creates The Illusion of a “Wrecked” Mercedes-Benz from 12,000 Pieces of Reflective Steel
Talented sculptor based in New York, Jordan Griska has created his latest creation titled “Wreck”, showing us the beauty hidden in a derelict Mercedes-Benz.
His this commissioned piece is comprised of twelve thousand individual pieces of stainless steel that catches light and reflects it beautifully. Wreck has been molded after a Mercedes-Benz S550, a reflective sculpture, that depicts the car crash the owner has endured. While car crashes are generally seen as traumatising, tragic and brutal, we wonder what might have gone through the owner of the car to commemorate the whole experience.
Griska is known for his artistic endeavours of recreating objects, using elements that represent aspects of American culture and history. More than a year and a half of careful research went into its inception, Griska working continually to transform it from a digital model to a finished artwork. The reflective sculpture is currently in a private collection outside of Philadelphia, but was on public view for a short period at Pier 9 with Philadelphia Contemporary. View his gallery here.
