Friday, January 13th, 2023

One of my favourite finds at the Singapore Motorshow 2023 are the fun and bold artworks created by local artist, Erika Tay, for the Suzuki models on display – Swift, Swift Sport, Jimny, and Ignis.

On the Suzuki Swift, the Kitsune, a fox well known for its cunning spirit and intelligence, is supposed to mirror the Suzuki Swift’s zippy and spicy personality.

The illustration of the rabbit has a dual meaning – a symbol of speed and a nod to 2023, the Year of the Rabbit.

For non-drivers, the artwork is also available for purchase.

The Swift Sport dons an illustration of a maneki-neko, the Japanese beckoning cat, believed to bring good luck and fortune, surfing on waves to represent the high degree of responsiveness and an exhilarating experience behind the wheel.

Similar to the classic exterior of the Suzuki Ignis, the Daruma dolls designed by the artist presents a timeless representation of Japanese culture.
