Synopsis
A well known artist specialising in racing car subjects, the late Simon Owens detailed, expertly executed work conveys the life, vibrancy, the essence and passion of motorsports and racing cars, like no other.
From his often small watercolours, rich in colour and tone, to digital art and composition, Simons work is a visual feast for lovers of automotive art and motorsport. Over the last few years, Simon had worked on developing a series of computer-generated images, focussing on individual racing cars and their liveries.
