About John Ketchell

John Ketchell has been drawing for over forty years, starting in his early teens when he realised expressing himself through charcoal, pastels and paint was what he wanted to pursue. John trained formally and studied at Harris School of Art Preston, a 4 year course culminating in achieving the MSIA.
Over the years John's style has developed from photo realism to semi abstract which allows more freedom of how to interpret the subject matter. Paintings are typically motorsport or car orientated and any event that involves speed.
Internationally reknown as a motorsport artist, John has been commissioned to produce work by many leading companies and private individuals.
John's paintings can be seen at all major motorsport events such as Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival Meeting, Race Retro, and on exhibition at the Historic Car Art Gallery.
