Artwork of the Week - 27th July 2015

Fleetwood - Vettel

This weekend saw another exciting Formula 1 race at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Although Lewis Hamilton's qualifying time on Saturday saw him sit at Pole position he only managed a sixth place finish. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel took a surprise win in a dramatic race. Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat took his first career podium in second. Vettel's victory - his second of the season - came as a huge surprise, and the German dedicated it to French driver Jules Bianchi, who died last Friday.

With a win for Sebastian Vettel we thought that this week's Artwork of the Week should feature a brand new Signed Limited Edition Print by the artist Fleetwood, titled and depicting the racing driver in his car. Fleetwood's work has a fun and contemporary twist on well known subjects. His style is fast and loose with an urban edge. He creates dramatic compositions that use a bright palette to depict iconic vehicles. This new release is a hand embellished canvas that has an edition of just 19 copies. With such a low edition size Vettel won't be available for long.

Born in North London in 1986, Fleetwood's remarkable artistic ability was clear from an early age, and he set his sights on becoming a professional artist whilst still at school. He studied art and photography to A Level, followed by a degree in Illustration at Middlesex. On leaving University he found employment in a Mayfair art gallery, before moving to Hertfordshire to focus on selling his own work.

It was not until 2013 that Fleetwood began to create the bold, dynamic car pieces he is now famed for. Combining the artists three great passions for film, art and classic vehicles, his dramatic paintings depict iconic cars with an urban, contemporary edge. His fearless use of colour and extreme attention to detail result in pieces which are at once eye- catching and exceptionally skilled in their execution.

His debut collection was instantly well- received, with galleries up and down the country soon clamouring to exhibit the paintings. His first solo exhibition was met with great acclaim, with many collectors recognizing the unique and vibrant quality to his work. With much of his career yet ahead of him this young artist is poised to take the contemporary art world by storm.
