In a groundbreaking fusion of motorsport and contemporary art, Nigerian-born artist Slawn has become the first-ever artist to put his artwork on a Formula 1 car. The vibrant design was unveiled ahead of the 2024 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where Slawn collaborated with the Visa Cash App RB (VCARB) Formula 1 team to create a stunning livery that turned heads across the racing world.
Known for his bold, street-inspired aesthetic, Slawn brought a unique African artistic flair to the high-octane world of Formula 1, blending colors, patterns, and symbolism to express culture and creativity on a global platform.
“It’s surreal,” Slawn said during the reveal. “Seeing my art fly down a racetrack at 300 km/h—it’s the ultimate canvas.”
The collaboration marked a significant moment for both art and sport, representing a celebration of diversity, innovation, and the expanding cultural influence of Formula 1.
This historic partnership highlights Formula 1’s growing commitment to creative expression and inclusivity, while elevating Slawn as a trailblazer in the world of contemporary art and global motorsport.
