F1 OR F40?

Collection 2026

Unique artwork

1/1

"F1 OR F40?" is an artistic exploration of perception, speed, and two emblematic worlds in automotive history. This creation brings together two legends of performance within a single work: the Ferrari F40 and Formula 1.

On one side, the Ferrari F40, a true icon of the 1980s, embodies pure automotive passion. With its radical lines, its imposing rear wing, and its timeless character, it represents an era where performance was expressed without compromise.

On the other, a Formula 1 single-seater symbolizes the excellence of automotive competition, the constant pursuit of speed, and the ever-pushed boundaries of engineering.

Two machines, two philosophies, two expressions of the same passion. One was born for the road, the other for the circuits. Yet both share a common identity: the automobile pushed to its extreme.

Thanks to a meticulous folding technique inspired by the agamograph, the artwork plays with viewing angles, reliefs, and perspectives. Depending on the viewer’s position, the Ferrari F40 appears while the Formula 1 gradually disappears, and vice versa. This three‑dimensional illusion turns a static composition into a lively visual experience, where every movement reveals a new facet of the piece.

Created by CARTIST, a young emerging French artist, this work fuses automotive art, contemporary drawing, and optical illusion. The finesse of the red lines, the purity of the white background, and the geometry of the folds give birth to a minimalist and expressive composition, in which two legendary machines become a true artistic expression.

This artwork is absolutely UNIQUE, produced in a single worldwide edition (1/1). It will never be reproduced identically, affirming its exclusive character and its special place in CARTIST’s artistic universe.

Beyond its visual illusion, “F1 OR F40?” invites reflection on automotive passion: should one choose between the brutality of a legendary supercar and the precision of a competition single-seater?

Two legends. Two universes. One single artwork.

Presented in an elegant deep black frame, this three-dimensional creation is ready to be hung. It will be carefully protected and shipped in sturdy packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.

Please note that colors and visual effects may vary slightly depending on lighting, screens, and viewing angle."
