Doc's Auto Storage is a nostalgic, detail-rich celebration of the silver screen's most iconic cars, brought vividly to life through JJ Adams' unmistakable blend of pop culture, imagination, and technical mastery. This limited edition mixed media giclée print pays tribute to the unforgettable vehicles that defined entire generations of film and television - and to the pure, cinematic escapism of the 1980s and 1990s.
At first glance, the viewer becomes part of the scene - seated inside a car, with the curve of the steering wheel just visible at the bottom of the composition. Ahead stretches a vast, dimly lit auto storage unit, and what it contains reads like a who's who of motoring legend and movie magic. Each vehicle is instantly recognisable, lined up in perfect formation like trophies from decades of storytelling brilliance.
Front and centre are the unmistakable silhouettes of cinematic icons: the Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT) from Knight Rider, the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, the Jurassic Park Jeep, the Starsky & Hutch Gran Torino, and the Back to the Future DeLorean. Nearby, the Batmobile lurks in the shadows, while other legendary vehicles make subtle appearances in the layered background - teasing the eagle-eyed viewer to spot references to Gone in 60 Seconds, The A-Team, and more.
This piece is a testament to Adams' creative storytelling. By positioning the viewer within the scene, he transforms the artwork into a cinematic experience - a window into memory and imagination. It's as though you've stumbled across the world's greatest film collection, frozen in time, each car resting between adventures. The muted tones of the garage are balanced by flashes of polished chrome and painted colour, evoking the smell of oil, dust, and nostalgia.
As with much of JJ Adams' work, Doc's Auto Storage is more than a tribute - it's a love letter to pop culture itself. His layering of visual details invites repeated viewing, each moment revealing another clue, another subtle nod to a beloved film or television universe. The artist's fascination with cultural icons and his ability to merge fine art with cinematic storytelling shine through, creating a piece that resonates with collectors, film buffs, and art lovers alike.

It comes finished in a sleek black moulded frame, complete with a certificate of authenticity, and is produced in a signed limited edition of 95.
