Ben Tuna of Glass Visions Studio revives a <\/span>corroded<\/a> Porsche<\/a> 911 Carrera into an art <\/span>car<\/a> fitted with cathedral-inspired stained <\/span>glass<\/a>. Named Resurrection (2025), the rusted automobile has no wheels, windows, or interiors, and the artist uses the beaten-up chassis as his canvas. Ben Tuna then creates metal frames that can hold the stained glass, and once the sizes fit the car\u2019s windows and front and rear windshields, he proceeds with the colored materials, cutting them up in exact proportions to fit the frame. Upon a closer look, the stained glass depicts angelic figures gazing down, imagery that may be typically found in cathedrals. These colored materials bring the corroded Porsche 911 Carrera back to life, giving it another chance to live through the current timeline as an art car.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping the endangered glassmaking technique alive<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The <\/span>artist<\/a> Ben Tuna writes a short caption on his Instagram post. <\/span>\u2018The combination of relics left to be forgotten. Following no rules, learning the craft, honoring the past,\u2019<\/span> he says. It hints at the use of the beaten-up Porsche 911 Carrera as well as the use of stained glass, which has recently been classified as an <\/span>endangered<\/a> glassmaking technique. Ben Tuna then puts his knowledge of stained glass into use by creating an art piece, immortalizing the traditional craftsmanship and reinstating its historical and artistic status in the field of glassmaking.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The artist forms part of Los Angeles-based Glass Visions Studio, a family-run <\/span>business<\/a> of custom decorative stained glass for over forty years. It was founded by Mark Tuna in 1979, and when he retired in 2021, his son, Ben, assumed the helm, continuing the decades-long practice of his family as well as the art of centuries-old handcrafted stained glassmaking. The cathedral-inspired stained glass on the windows and windshields of a corroded Porsche 911 Carrera is only one of his long list of art pieces, and so far, his recent creation is a personal project.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
