Roy Putt and
Geoff Bolam with be joined by many other British artists and for the first time artists from Europe and beyond.
Russian artist and designer
Ilya Avakov will be showing outside of his home country for the first time, his work having recently discovered by Historic Car Art and shipped over to the UK. Four sculptors,
Gary Smith, Esteban Serassio, Tim Potts and Robin Bark will exhibition their solid bronze and aluminium castings.
Although most artists lean towards classic and historic cars for their artworks others, in particular Nick Roe, focus on the cutting edge of modern Formula 1. Roe’s work on the vortices formed in the Williams F1 wind tunnel is part print, part sculptural and uses modern materials such as carbon fibre.
Other exciting additions for 2017 are top selling artist
Frederic Dams,
Paul Dove, Jan Yanou and Ella Freire all of whom have very different and contrasting styles that will compliment the exhibition perfectly. 2017 is sure to be the best event so far.
