The White Night Celebration is an annual event that takes place over 12 hours from dusk till dawn. It is a celebration of art and culture that brings together local and international artists to put on exciting and engaging performances. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the competition, the artists were Chris Le, and Snake Hole (Josh Meyer and Josh Brown). They were each provided with a Nissan JUKE that had been wrapped in a special glow-in-the-dark skin and created their designs using black paint and pens. Attendees could watch as their creations came to life and even participate by writing on the vehicles using a smartphone light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Josh Meyer and Josh Brown created the piece \u201cSnake Wrap\u201d stating &#8220;Our initial impression when we saw the JUKE was it had snake-like characteristics. The grill, headlights and long smooth lines resonated immediately with us. We decided to create a series of snakes that traced the shapes and features of the JUKE. We utilized negative space, so that the snakes were glowing, and everything else would be blacked out.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris Le\u2019s piece was called \u201cJourney to the West\u201d and he drew inspiration from Chinese culture: &#8220;One of my favorite TV shows as a kid was the Monkey Magic series. Since it is the Year of the Monkey in the Chinese lunar calendar, I thought it would be fitting to depict Monkey and his friends on their journey to the West. Obviously an Asian themed illustration must include dragons since they are a big part of the culture, so it was only natural to draw epic dragons weaving past the character on the car.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See both of these pieces of art unfold in the video above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Glow-in-the-dark Nissan JUKE, the Ultimate Street Art Canvas.&#8221;NissanNews.com.
