Richard McWhannell
12 March – 2 April
Racing cars have long been synonymous with glamorous women, made famous – or infamous – by the Pirelli Calendars of the mid-1960s.
With a wink and nod to the centre-creased enthusiasms of the discerning gentleman/woman, Richard McWhannell, car enthusiast and well-known artist, has combined images of vintage race and sports cars, and period pinup girls. It should be noted that the artist currently owns two 1929 Austin 7 sports racers which are depicted in the series, along with a number of paintings related to the Roycroft Trophy, a must-go-to exhibition for the vintage car enthusiast.
