As one of the world’s leading automotive artists, Barry Rowe has developed a worldwide following, and an impressive list of private and corporate clients.
His distinctive style and passion for automobiles is reflected in his paintings. By creating works of art instead of illustrations of cars, Rowe imbues each painting with an atmosphere and interaction that allows you to see every automobile at its finest.
After a career in advertising as an art director, Barry decided to become a freelance painter, and his success began with winning the prestigious Sotheby’s Art Award for a portrait of Juan Manual Fangio.
After winning the award, Barry won commissions from Louis Vuitton, Royal Mail, Royal Doulton and Royal Caribbean Lines, for whom he is now Artist in Residence, and is flown out specially for ships on their inaugural cruises.
In 1998, Barry painted his first poster for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, beginning a long and exciting relationship, continuing with posters for the Concours in 1999, 2007 and 2008, and for the Pebble Beach Tour seven years in a row from 2000, and again in 2008 and 2009.
Today Barry’s clients include Aston Martin, Mercedes Benz, Cunard, Royal Caribbean, Chopard, and of course, Pebble Beach.
