Motor Fair captures the unexpected journey of an internet search gone astray. What began as an inquiry into the origins of a mammoth tooth discovered in Liljeström’s home region led to this airbrushed depiction of a truck at a local motor fair. The painting presents the truck in a soft, almost hazy focus, with the airbrush technique lending the industrial subject a delicate, almost ethereal quality. The large format emphasizes the truck’s imposing presence, yet the smooth gradients and muted tones soften its appearance, creating a visual tension between the machine’s solidity and the transient, fleeting nature of its representation. This work is a testament to Liljeström’s process of exploring the randomness of digital discovery, where a mammoth tooth and a motor fair converge in a singular, unexpected image.
