“Batter Up” – Back to the Future 2 Painting by Bart Carels
I’m excited to present “Batter Up,” my original Back to the Future 2 painting. This piece brings to life the unforgettable hoverboard scene—Marty McFly flying across the future in his Nike Mags. It’s a tribute to the electric energy, style, and optimism that made the film iconic. For me, it’s not just about nostalgia—it’s about capturing a moment that still feels ahead of its time.
Hoverboards and Nike Mags
Back to the Future Part II is packed with imaginative tech, but the hoverboard and self-lacing Nike Mags stole the show. In this piece, I zeroed in on that playful clash between sci-fi futurism and everyday suburbia. Bright colors, layered textures, and exaggerated motion give this painting its sense of speed and wonder—just like the scene that inspired it.
A Tribute to Timeless Sci-Fi
This painting is more than a movie reference. “Batter Up” is a love letter to the spirit of invention, adventure, and the “what ifs” that fuel pop culture. Marty’s hoverboard moment represents curiosity, rebellion, and confidence—themes I wanted to translate visually through dynamic angles and explosive energy on canvas.
Perfect for Movie Fans
Whether you’re a sci-fi geek, film collector, or someone who just appreciates the wild imagination of the ’80s, this piece delivers. It’s a visual time machine—something that can hang in your home, office, or studio and spark instant conversation. After all, the future is what we make it.
