Mathieu Cesar's Black & White portraiture brings emotion and character to photography by combining shadows, light and contrast. With his retro-futuristic style, he is one of today's leading lighting experts, capable of capturing the essence of each subject. Mathieu Cesar is also a lifelong car fan.




Mathieu Cesar delved into the Alpine universe to capture an entirely monochromatic car. The vehicle becomes a veritable work of art when stripped of all its colour. The purity of black and white and the range of greys and chromes refine every line and detail.

The A110 S revealed in Black & White: a hypnotic and timeless design
The Alpine x Mathieu Cesar collaboration was conceived and developed as a co-creation, combining the artist's intentions with the brand's savoir-faire. The Monochromatic project offers an automotive vision in which simplicity becomes synonymous with sophistication.



'This collaboration was a dialogue between two arts: Mathieu's world of photography and our automotive expertise. It represents a perfect fusion of our shared vision of performance and elegance. The creation of the A110 Monochromatic is not just about materials and textures, but also about passion and emotion,' explains Antony Villain, Alpine Design Director.

Alpine Art Car 2024: a stunning graphic composition and a unique combination of materials and textures
For the exterior, the use of the black and white gradient on the bodywork, a genuine signature of the artist, was defined at the first meeting between the Alpine design team and Mathieu Cesar in early 2024. Because photography reveals beauty and reality, the design team stripped back the A110 S's aluminium bodywork while working on the transition zones in white shading. The gloss black front and rear panels create a graphic impression.

Inside the A110 Monochromatic, the white upper section contrasts with the black lower section. 3D printing was chosen to create lightness and transparency for the backrests and door trims. The white-to-black upholstery refers to the gradation of the exterior. Lastly, aluminium interior elements such as the A110 Monochromatic console decoration, a nameplate and specific door sills complete the design.

During this collaboration, Mathieu Cesar captured the soul of Alpine in timeless photographs and a film in which the car seems frozen in a parallel universe where light and shadow dance upon the bodywork.

After the Alpine A110 S by Felipe Pantone in 2021, the A110 Sastruga by the Obvious Collective in 2022 and the A110 Metamorphosis by Arne Quinze in 2023, Alpine is entering a new artistic collaboration for the fourth year running. These creative partnerships demonstrate Alpine's commitment to supporting creativity and exploring new territories.
