SURELY every company car owner’s nightmare: you park your motor in East London for an important business meet only to return to find the local graffiti artist chose that particular wall for his latest creation.

But don’t get to worried that the street sprayers are getting blasé about parked cars, it’s just the latest work by contemporary British artist Josh Stika featuring the Vauxhall Adam.
Following his three month solo show at The Hoxton Hotel and two seasons designing for ASOS and Boxfresh, Stika goes back to the Shoreditch streets.

His latest work sees his signature intense use of colours create a graphic swirl on the wall of Sclater Street near Brick Lane, which stretches and merges onto Vauxhall’s Adam Rocks Air, creating an all-encompassing optical illusion that the car has merged into the graffitied wall.

The stunt aims to emphasise the Adam’s customising potential with a million ways through colours, decals and foils.

Speaking on the project Stika said, “East London is now recognised as the home of British street art, the walls are covered with fascinating works from amazing artists from all over the globe. I love the healthy competition this has created, with every artist trying to produce something bigger and better each time. Having worked within the graffiti scene for the past 15 years I welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with Vauxhall and challenge myself further. The brief simply being to put my personality on the Adam really allowed me to create something stand-out, and engage with the car in my home environment of the streets of Shoreditch.”

The Adam Rocks Air mini-crossover priced from £14,995.
