Mitchell Schorr is a famous American artist with iconic, recognizable “Da Race” imagery. His fame is built on a unique blend of nostalgia, imagery with a community resonance, and sheer visual joy. A New York-born muralist, Schorr has painted dozens of colorful racecars and ice cream trucks in public places across the USA and worldwide, using building walls, barricades, sidewalks, gates, and fences as his canvases – all with owners’ permission.
Mitchell Schorr’s “Da Race” collection is probably the best-known street art series in the USA. It represents a succession of murals that visualize the progression of a race, but there is no winner in the end. The open-endedness of Schorr’s playful racing streetscapes is a distinctive trait that has contributed to the artist’s visibility and outreach to broad audiences. According to Mitchell Schorr, his racing cars are inspired by childhood memories about car toys that transfer viewers into kid-like worlds of fascination with speed, color, and energy.
Another visual element that helps Schorr achieve the childhood-like feelings in the viewers is the ice cream truck. This image is well-known and held dearly in the memories of many Americans, giving Schorr’s street murals a distinct nostalgic vibe. The image borrows many features from the Mister Softee van, making the race not a competition but an enjoyable journey to sweet childhood memories.
Mitchell Schorr’s Partnership with Fine Art Shippers
One notable collaboration is Mitchell Schorr’s work on the company’s art vehicles, which gave birth to the “Da Race on Wheels” project. The art project started with an idea of making art more accessible to people by means of putting it on wheels, literally. Fine Art Shippers partnered with the artist to make the moving art object, which would become a testimony to art’s universality and value. In 2021, this collaboration led to the “Da Race on Wheels” art van that pushed street art to a whole new level. The art van has been cruising the USA for five years, but we are now finally ready to hand it over to a careful, responsible collector with a passion for street art, and Mitchell Schorr’s art in particular.
