Since the early 1990s, Hiro Yamagata has worked on around three dozen of these cars. Each has been carefully restored, then the bodies are finished in white matte acrylic, and then the surface is roughened, providing a primer coat for Yamagata's creative genius. These 'Earthly Paradise' cars are completely hand-painted by Yamagata. The designs feature bright and colorful birds and flowers.
Yamagata's Cabriolets have been displayed at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, and they have also been attendees at the Venice Biennale in 1995 and on a tour of European museums that lasted through 1997.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2014
