AIR SLAWN We found a decommissioned aircraft in the Arizona desert. Flew the idea to Slawn. He painted the plane. The artwork that now lives on the fuselage is being released as a limited print - lifted directly from the side of the aircraft. Print drop coming soon.

Organised chaos ft. @pascalmoehlmann When we pitch our wilder ideas to artists about what we’ll hand them to paint on, it takes a bit of trust. This time, we think we delivered and Pascal absolutely smashed it with this new paint job. We’re deep into our preparations for our winter projects now, with plans to create even more unique, upcycled canvases for artists in the coming months. If you’re an artist, collector, or just curious about getting involved, our email’s in the bio. Let’s make something happen. Cheers, Alex & Milo 👊

♻️ Vehicles for Change is built on a simple idea: creativity can transform lives ❤️ Sometimes creativity is the spark that helps someone feel seen again. For years, we’ve collaborated with artists to create artworks on canvases made from upcycled materials, from decommissioned buses and discarded plastics to, most recently, lorry curtains that have travelled across Europe. The profits from these artworks help us fund creative projects and guided workshops across the UK. As we look back on the past year, we want to say a big thank you to every artist who has been involved and supported our projects. Your time, energy and creativity make all of this possible. We’re incredibly grateful to charity @mustardtreemcr for a new partnership that we’re excited to continue building together. We are looking forward to 2026 and what’s to come ❤️♻️

We’re proud to announce a new release in collaboration with Valencia-based artist @ricardorodriguezart who has created four original oil paintings for our Vehicles For Change series. Working in his signature black and white, Ricardo brings his meticulous eye for speed, tension, and cultural collision to some of motoring’s most iconic imagery - a Porsche 911’s rear haunches caught mid-snarl, a black horse standing on a Carrera’s bonnet against an open horizon, two cowboys framing a dealership lot, and a Canon-liveried Formula car blurred into pure motion alongside a cowboy boot mid-stride. Each piece is a study in contrast - classical realism meeting contemporary attitude, European engineering filtered through frontier mythology. Ricardo’s work doesn’t just depict vehicles; it interrogates what they mean - the status, the freedom, the controlled chaos they represent. View the works, enquire on pieces, make thoughtful offers, and read the full interview at 4bysix.com. Thanks Ricardo! 🏎️ 🙏

@gabriellegraessle joins the 4BYSIX Vehicles for Change series with two original paintings on lorry curtain tarpaulin, each one a world of its own. “N.C.” is intimate and quietly magnetic, a green face framed by dark hair against a field of pink glitter, eyes closed, completely still. “Snow Flake” pulls in the opposite direction, loose, urgent, a white figure dominating the canvas with its name spelled out above it in raw lettering. Two works, two entirely different registers, from an artist with serious range. Both pieces are now up for auction. Profits from this sale will go towards funding community art projects in Manchester for homeless people and those finding themselves in difficult living situations, alongside our partners at @mustardtreemcr Read the full interview and place your bid at 4bysix.com. It’s been a pleasure working with you again @gabriellegraessle ❤️

@kennwadiogbu joins the 4BYSIX Vehicles for Change series and he’s delivered something special 🙏 We sent Ken a section of lorry curtain tarpaulin and what came back was Ascension, a work about becoming. The central street is lifted from a photograph Ken took during his residency in Rome, its golden facades pressing in from either side, the sky between them cracked open in bruised blues and violent purples. Rising through the centre is an angel carrying the key to the city, a symbol of access, alongside Alusi, a nature spirit from Igbo religion, Odinani, that serves as an intermediary between the human and the divine. It’s a painting built from lived experience, spiritual inheritance, and a residency that clearly left its mark. Fresh off winning the Young Generation Art Award, this is Ken at full force, working through questions of transition, aspiration, and what it means to rise. The piece is now up for auction. Profits from this sale will go towards funding community art projects in Manchester for homeless people and those finding themselves in difficult living situations, alongside our partners at @mustardtreemcr Read the full interview and place your bid at 4bysix.com.

@grantgilsdorf is the latest artist to take on our Vehicles for Change series, and with “Passage to Elsewhere” he has delivered something that feels deeply aligned with the spirit of what 4BYSIX is trying to do. Painted on a section of salvaged lorry curtain tarpaulin, the work depicts a solitary figure suspended beneath a water’s surface, bathed in deep blue light - reaching upward, or perhaps simply existing in the stillness between two worlds. The title is no accident, “Passage to Elsewhere” speaks directly to the heart of our community work; the belief that art, at its best, offers people a way out of the weight of the everyday. The piece is now up for auction.

@horacio_quiroz joins the 4BYSIX Vehicles for Change series - bringing with him a canvas that has its own story to tell. We sent Horacio an upcycled plastic panel - reclaimed material that would otherwise have gone to landfill, and he has returned something that stops you in your tracks. A dense, close-up world of polished stones and gemstones rendered with extraordinary painterly depth, a single eye emerging quietly from beneath them. It is a work that rewards close attention. The more you look, the more it gives back. The piece is now up for auction.

@dan_oliver_artist joins the 4BYSIX Vehicles for Change series and he’s made the material speak for itself 🔥 We sent Dan a section of lorry curtain tarpaulin, and rather than painting over its history, he incorporated it. The word Potential - taken directly from the original graphic printed on the curtain before it was upcycled sits across the façade of a burning urban streetscape, rendered with a sharp, almost clinical composure. It’s a work that asks uncomfortable questions about cities, about who they serve, and what gets left behind. The piece is now up for auction.

Welcome to the 4BYSIX family, @rubeneinsmann For our Vehicles for Change series, we sent Ruben a section of lorry curtain tarpaulin - salvaged material repurposed as canvas. He returned two works that draw on the language of medieval painting and iconography, placing familiar and mythic imagery onto a surface that has its own industrial history. The tension between the two worlds is exactly what makes them work. Both are now up for auction.
