WHALE TANKERS The Paint Shop

PAINTED LADIES.


From the plain metal, shiny tanker shapes in colour emerge.

Firstly, any scratches or blemishes are filled and rubbed down and the tankers are rough blasted.

A beautiful high gloss finish.

In a large paint booth, the tanker body is sprayed. The finish of the tanker is prefect. Anish Kapoor insists his sculptures have a perfect finish and this prefection is part of his art. I see a tanker as a work of art.
