Gallery Rouge Harpenden is delighted exhibit a collection of works from leading automotive artist Jack Fleetwood, to coincide with 'Classics on the Common'. This hugely popular annual event draws in thousands of car enthusiasts both young and old to share their passion.

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 Middelsex. 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 artist’s 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.
