CEO Stagecoach by Jeremy Dean, creativethriftshop.com

THEKEY.TO ACCELERATION features New York artist, Jeremy Dean and his series “Back To The Futurama.” In partnership with the gallery Creative Thrift Shop, THEKEY.TO will display Jeremy’s artwork consisting of scale models of Cadillac Escalades and HUMMER H2 turned horse-drawn cart. His most recognised work from this series however, is the full-scale realisation of this idea, where he converted a real HUMMER H2 into a horse drawn carriage known as the CEO Stagecoach. He unveiled his work with a public performance where live horses pulled the HUMMER CEO Stagecoach around Central Park in New York earlier this year.
