The artwork titled “John Surtees,” created by the artist Michael Johnson, captures a moment from a racing event.
Within the artwork, we observe a racing car marked with the number 7, centrally positioned. Inside the vehicle, the driver, donning racing attire and a helmet, is seated, presumably ready for the race. Two individuals stand next to the car, seemingly assisting or preparing the scene. In the background, a group of spectators and additional racing cars enhance the ambiance of a vibrant racing environment, infused with energy and movement. The artist employs a palette dominated by hues of white and muted shades, effectively drawing attention to the car and its driver while maintaining a cohesive and dynamic composition.
