These days, being able to lay claim to a distinct style is a gold standard of success for any working artist. There are many who endeavour a lifetime to defining theirs and never quite achieve it. Then there are artists like , whose name you don’t even need to mention before you sense his handiwork when you see it. His latest project is this, a Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, repainted and reupholstered panel-by-panel in a painstaking process that took weeks to execute. How long the style itself had been bouncing around in Sean’s head however is a story that goes back much, much further.
“When I was in high school, I grew up in a group of VW heads.” Explains Wotherspoon, reminiscing on a time when he and his friends spent their nights on VW Vortex, an active online forum that remains in use to this day. “One day, while deep diving VW vortex, I saw a Harlequin Golf. And yo! Like that, I wanted one so bad. That was my dream car, but I never thought I’d have enough money to own one.”
Fast forward to 2018 and Wotherspoon had found his groove in the vintage fashion realm, with multiple locations of his store, Round Two, thriving across the U.S. “I was like, you know what? I have to find a Harlequin Golf, I have to buy one.”
So he did, finding a pristine example in Pennsylvania. It had never been lowered, no tacky exhaust mods, just a clean, base example from among the 264 that were originally produced. He still has the car today and credits it as a key point of inspiration, saying “I want everything to be colour blocked.”
Colour-block everything he did, from his popular Nike Air Max 97 to his custom Taycan project with Porsche. That project in particular was a launch pad for Sean’s entry into art cars. It featured four different colours, each named after a member of his family, including “Nashy Blue”, named for Wotherspoon’s son, and “Sean Peach”, obviously named after him.
