The Artist

The London based painter Frances Wilks developed an obsession for the world of cars and the color red. In a very incarnated figurative style, she sketches portraits, typical scenes, and settings, or details of the world of Formula 1. Wilks shows us that one can always hijack the codes of what we could consider masculine archetypes (like the world of Formula 1) and play with them.

Specifications

Obsessed by Ferrari and the Formula 1 universe, in Wilks’ “Shine On”, the artist depicts herself as a driver reading a newspaper showing sexy women and financial headlines.
