The Artist: Francis Brook
Born in 1950, British artist Francis Brook is one of todays most prolific and interesting vintage sports car painters. He is the son of sport photographer Warren Brook, who portrayed the legendary Le Mans and Daytona car races in the 1960’s. Francis was raised in the motor sports world where smoke, speed, and roaring engines became his childhood companions. Brook fell in love with vintage sports cars and motorcycles, and he began to express himself by painting different vehicles capturing their original timeless styles. Beginning in his teenage years, Brook became fascinated with the gleaming chrome, aged wooden steering wheels, classic dashboards, and the subtle body designs that projected pure speed. He later developed a realistic style of painting as a way to capture the detail of the cars he loved. “My work is removed from hyper-realism,” Brook explains, “I simply want these vintage muscle cars to look hyper-gorgeous. I am just the eye that catches a moment and a detail. My brushstrokes are evident, but I do not want to mimic a photo. Rather, I would like to create the same emotion a person might feel when gazing at a loved one.” The walls of hundreds of motor clubs around Europe are adorned with Brook’s images, and many collectors of vintage sports cars have commissioned him to create portraits of their mechanical masterpieces. Brook now lives and works near Brighton.
