David Hockney 850 CSi 1995
Hockney wanted to turn the car panels inside out, showing you through the car into it's interior as he saw it and, like Andy Warhol, he chose to paint directly on to the car, using his "naive style". Unlike Warhols I came around to this one - it became fun to look at the inverted perverted image folding back on itself. I think Hockney was mindful of his canvas, he was quite clear he was painting a car which is why, for me, this one works better than Warhols.
