Formo Motors is rocking a brand new piece of functional art – a formation of mountain rocks that also serve as a display platform for their vehicles. The masterpiece is the work of travelling artist Pierre St-Germain. “Basically what I do, is I drive all over the country and I carve concrete to make it look like rock.” said the artist from Quebec. “We want to make it look like it was chiseled from a mountain, and they can park a vehicle on top.”<\/p>\n

Early in the project, St-Germain took time to explain his progress. “What you see now is just the skull – it is not even close to what it is going to look like. Everything will be smooth finish and rock color and everywhere there is holes, there will be plants. <\/p>\n

“A project like this is a week, but the weather is my schedule.” he said. <\/p>\n

St-Germain has worked in concrete for his whole life and has been creating rock sculptures for dealerships over the past 15 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
