Acclaimed Italian artist Nino Mustica to unveil a new collaboration with world renowned automotive designer Gerry McGovern, Design Director, Land Rover

The work will be unveiled at London's Southbank Centre beside the River Thames

Launching during Frieze Week London, the sculptures celebrate the fusion of art and automotive design.
A dramatic new installation is to debut at the iconic Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall beside the River Thames on Tuesday 14th October. Unstoppable Spirit is comprised of two dramatic sculptures reaching over seven metres into the London sky and is the product of a unique collaboration between Italian artist Nino Mustica and Land Rover's Design Director, Gerry McGovern.
Celebrating the fusion of art and automotive design, the two pieces explore how the two worlds collide and interact. Mustica, based in Milan, forged a successful career as a painter before the introduction of 3D modelling software allowed him to experiment with sculpture and 'shapes of colour'. McGovern is one of the world's leading automotive designers whose credits include the Range Rover Evoque. Unstoppable Spirit was inspired by the design and capability of the new Land Rover Discovery Sport.
The installations will be unveiled during Frieze Week London and will be open to the public from 14‑19th October. Admission is free. Visit www.unstoppablespirit.com for more information.
A teaser film of the installation can be viewed / embedded here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ_2dB1‑RrM&feature=youtu.be
