Local Sydney artists painted an all-new Hyundai i20 and matching mural over 3 days in an underground workspace in Sydney. Using aerosol paint only, artists Beastman & Numskull's collaboration of the 2 distinct styles sees bright colours and organic patterns illustrate nature morphing with an exciting urban lifestyle.

The idea behind the work reflects the bright, youthful lifestyle depicted the within the 'Going Places' marketing campaign used to launch the i20 onto the Australian market in July 2010. The signature 'eye' graphic from the artist represents the 'i' in i20.

The 2 artists brought together their experiences of youth culture, music, skate-lifestyle, comic and graffiti-art to create an engaging work.
