VW Camper Art, Photography and Canvas Prints
The ultimate automotive icon. From the classic split screen to the bay, the VW camper has been the stereotypical vehicle for the surfer since the 1960’s. Everyone has had one or wanted one. I think it’s the idea of living a care free life next to the beach and the chilled out feeling it personifies. Over the years many manufacturers have come up with alternatives to the camper with some becoming more successful than others.
The VW Transporter T4 or T5, being the most popular since the earlier campers is now, probably regarded as the surf vehicle of the 21st century. The VW camper has been so popular that enthusiasts all over the country have been collecting them and restoring them to their former glory. With events like Run to the Sun and Beetle Fest which see thousands of VW camper owners getting together to basque in the glory of the Volkswagen Camper. It also sees hundreds of campers broken down on the side of the road!
The VW camper has been so popular that people have even wanted pictures of them, to the extent that VW Camper Art has become its own genre! From money boxes and bumper stickers to high quality photographic prints and canvas prints, a market has been created for all things VW. You can even hire fully restored campers for the weekend, so you drive off into the sunset and break down just as its getting dark!
VW art ranges from photographs of ‘dubs’ to tie die paintings of VW’s psychedelic in surf scenes. This has led to all types of iconic automotive art being produced and sold throughout the world; from classic Cadillac’s to Harley Davidson’s. Some of the more popular styles of automotive art are Pop Art; Since Andy Warhol people have used his unique Pop Art style on every sort of picture imaginable.
