British Motor Museum
opens a brand-new exhibition
“The Gallery: Auto Art at
the British Motor Museum”
he British Motor Museum has opened a brand-new
exhibition entitled “The Gallery: Auto Art at the British
Motor Museum”, which will run until 30 June 2023. The
exhibition, which is run in collaboration with Historic Car
Art, features a collection of over 30 motoring-related
pieces from seven of Britain’s most creative automotive
artists and sculptors.
The Gallery showcases five leading artists - Simon
Britnell, Neil Collins, Adam Gompertz, John
Ketchell, and Andy Shore, who work with a variety of
media, including acrylics, oil, watercolour, pen, and
pastels. Alongside the evocative paintings, Jonny
Ambrose and Gary Smith bring their eye-catching sculptures to the exhibition, artwork created in wood and in
bronze.
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.
Historic Car Art is now a leader in acquiring and supplying original automotive art and vintage posters, building
collections for discerning private and corporate clients
worldwide.
Rupert Whyte, Director of Historic Car Art, commented,
”It is a pleasure to partner with the team at the British Motor
Museum to present just a small selection from our portfolio of
renowned automotive artists against the backdrop of the
Museum's stunning collections.”
Stephen Laing, Head of Collections at the British Motor
Museum, added: "We're delighted to team up with Historic
Car Art to bring the work of some of Britain's most talented
artists to this new exhibition, a perfect complement to the
amazing array of historic cars and automotive archive that can
be seen at the Museum."
