Summary
| Description |
English: Bumper stickers and decorations on a Honda sedan. A 1987 Honda CRX, the Buddha Buggy features a 1.6 m high detachable Nepalese Buddhist stupa on the roof, with strings of prayer flags running up to the golden pinnacle of the stupa. In back, a 300 mm golden Buddha, holding a miniature pagoda, is flanked by intent Laptop Buddhas. These are but a few of the 50 golden statuettes, mostly on Buddhist or Asian spiritual themes, that adorn the car and stupa. Adding to the effect are twirling yin-yang hubcaps, psychedelic-era stickers, and the vanity license plates, TOOCOOL. Not visible are the image is a 330 mm high porcelain Amitabha Buddha in its niche in the stupa, and paintings of the Buddha], comic dragons, a cartoon portrait of the owner, comets, a flying saucer with 2 green aliens, and toothy, two-legged fishes. The car's interior includes a velvet altarcloth-draped dashboard with brass Tibetan incense burners, statues, and gold tassels; a painted explosion of cosmic love inside the doors; and a temporary installation of spiritual beings meditating in a circle in the back cargo area. The Buddha Buggy is the work of its Seattle, Washington owner, Larry Neilson, and his many collaborators. It has appeared at Art Car events all over the western U.S. and Canada, including the Tacoma_Art_Museum and San Jose (CA) Museum of Art. Professional Copy and Print (right) is visible as well |
