National Corvette Museum LogoMOMENTUM’s journey began in 2023 when the National Corvette Museum invited me, Artist A.D. Cook, to create a unique Corvette artwork for inclusion in the LUSTER: Realism And Hyperrealism In Contemporary Automobile and Motorcycle Paintings exposition, which ran from March 15, 2024, through January 5, 2025, in celebration of Corvette’s 70th Anniversary and the museum’s 30th Anniversary. Later, MOMENTUM was prominently featured for a solo extended stay through November 2025.

National Corvette Museum - Generations of Corvette up to 2011As a lifelong Corvette enthusiast, I was honored and excited to have created an original epic artwork celebrating America’s Sports Car for a special unveiling honoring Corvette’s exciting heritage and ongoing legacy.

For this special honor, I created two four-foot-by-five-foot paintings designed as a diptych. Both images complement one another when hung side-by-side or displayed separately. One canvas features a 1953/1954 Polo White C1 to commemorate Corvette’s first year, while the second canvas depicts a 2023 C8 Stingray Z06 in Arctic White.
