“An atmosphere and interaction that allows you to see every automobile at its finest.”
Capturing light, atmosphere and auto racing with a unique and immersive style, Barry Rowe’s automobile art is uniquely evocative and atmospheric.
From Saturday mornings spent gazing at damaged racing cars left outside of Jaguar’s factory in Coventry Barry moved on to a career in advertising as an art director. From there he became a freelance painter, winning Sotherby’s prestigious Art Award with a portrait of Juan Manuel Fangio and now counting Aston Martin, Mercedes Benz, and Pebble Beach amongst his clientele.
And we can see why!
