This art exhibition featured a range of motoring-related pieces from some of the country's most creative and talented automotive artists and sculptors.
Britain is very lucky to boast an incredible community of artists who take their inspiration from the motoring world, from everyday cars to the heroes of motorsport. There is such a wide array of styles and media, capturing cars and their drivers in almost every era and situation.
In this collaboration with Historic Car Art, the British Motor Museum brought together a combination of paintings and sculptural pieces by some incredible automotive artists from all over the UK to display in the Feature Exhibition Gallery. Featured artists included Jonny Ambrose, Emma Capener, Steve Goodwin, John Ketchell, Oliver Ray and Keith Woodcock.
Historic Car Art has been operating from its rural Derbyshire base since 2004. It has been built over time from a passion for art, cars, automotive history and the racing exploits of drivers and manufacturers combined with a great interest in how this has all been depicted over the years in both artwork and promotional advertising. This approach means that Historic Car Art is now a leader in the acquisition and supply of original automotive art and vintage posters, building collections for discerning private and corporate clients worldwide.
