A 1953/1954 CREATION to a 2023/2024 EVOLUTION
Diptych Title: MOMENTUM ~ combined size: 48″ x 120″, acrylic on canvas, 2024
MOMENTUM is a two-piece painting celebrating the 70th anniversary of the iconic American sports car, Corvette. The first painting, titled CREATION, pays homage to the original Corvette, created in 1953, which paved the way for the Corvette’s legacy as a driving machine. The second painting, EVOLUTION, showcases Corvette’s latest advancements with a 2023 70th Anniversary Stingray Z06 in Arctic White.
MOMENTUM was featured in the LUSTER exhibition, which highlighted Realism and Hyperrealism in Contemporary Automobile and Motorcycle Paintings, at the National Corvette Museum from March 15th through January 5th, 2025. The exhibition featured 60 artworks by 15 artists, including MOMENTUM and motorcycle-themed works by A.D. Cook, such as AMERICA, DREAM 103, and INDIAN SUMMER.
After LUSTER’s conclusion at the Corvette Museum, MOMENTUM was showcased for a solo extended stay through November 2025.
Stay updated on MOMENTUM’s journey through the Corvette Art Timeline.
“A.D. Cook’s work supported our mission by helping people see the Corvette as more than a car. His art brings the story of design and legacy into focus in a way that invites learning and connection.”
