Contemporary Assemblage John F Kennedy License Plate Art by Design Turnpike
About the Item
Recycled vintage red, light blue, and silver license plates from JFK's home state of Massachusetts are repurposed to create this amazing one-of-a-kind portrait of this beloved and iconic President. The fifth in this popular series follows the much-discussed portraits of Trump, Obama, Reagan and GWB that have already been sold.
This 36" x 48" piece is signed on the back in silver by the artist, and hand-numbered. The official Design Turnpike aluminum nameplate emblazons the front lower right corner of John Fitzgerald Kennedy's suit lapel.
David Bowman creates handmade license plate art and maps under the name Design Turnpike. As a boy, he loved keeping track of license plates. Road trips were kept entertaining by keeping a tally list of the many diverse plates he saw on the road along the way. Family vacations to New Mexico, South Dakota, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Canada and many other destinations exposed him to the wealth of color, style and personality of each state's tag. His interest in maps, geography, cars, travel and history grew to inspire his license plate artwork. In fact, a blue Michigan plate that adorned his first vehicle in 1998 lives on in one of the pieces in his personal collection.
Working from just outside Detroit, the birthplace of the modern automobile, he continues to brainstorm and produce various new designs along with some of the classic license plate maps that gained him attention early in his crafting career.
