Running Solo at Silo
After my epic Corvette artwork MOMENTUM‘s extended stay at the prestigious National Corvette Museum, where it captivated audiences and enthusiasts alike, and after a brief intermission that allowed for reflection and preparation, the paintings have now made their journey to their latest impressive display destination, the SILO Auto Club and Conservancy located in the vibrant city of Indianapolis.

Diptych Title: MOMENTUM ~ artist: A.D. Cook, combined size: 48″ x 120″, acrylic on canvas, 2024
A 1953/1954 CREATION to a 2023/2024 EVOLUTION
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.
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.”
