This week marks the opening of Silverstone circuit to the public for the annual Formula 1 British Grand Prix. It also marks the unveiling of Onyx's sensational Bionics F1 Masterpiece: his largest chrome-plated assemblage to date, which is now on display in Silverstone's Helipad foyer. Congratulations Onyx! Here's a bit more about this exciting project, in his own words:

"Eight months ago, I made a promise: I'd create a BIONICS Formula One car - and it would be ready in time for the next Grand Prix at Silverstone. At the time, it didn't exist. Not even as a sketch. Just a quiet confidence in the idea, and a belief that I could build something bold enough to stand among racing legends."


"Through conversations between Woolff Gallery, Escapade and Silverstone, that idea slowly gained momentum. What followed was months of preparation and collecting - and then, three to four months of full committment. I built this piece by hand, layer by layer, with no blueprint, just instinct."

"Toy parts, tubing, wires, and raw material came together to form something alive. One half pays homage to the original ferrari F1 car from 2002/3/. The other breaks ope - a mechanical metamorphosis, a sculpture that speaks of transformation, evolution, and what lies beneath the surface."



"Today, on the very weekend of the British Grand Prix, it stands at Silverstone's heliport - a full scale BIONICS F1 sculpture, finished in chrome gold. From concept to reality, this is without a doubt the proudest moment of my career so far."
