Sotherby's Art of Motoring

Sotherby's Art of Motoring

Author: Paramex Digital January 23, 2023 Duration: 41:01

In November 2022, we had the privilege of attending the Royal Automobile Club’s Art of Motoring Exhibition at the prestigious Sotheby’s Bond Street, London.

This week on the Driven Chat podcast, Rachael Downie shares her fascinating conversations had with some wonderfully talented automotive artists at Europe’s leading curated automotive art exhibition.

Curators Andrew Marriott and Rupert Whyte, used the beautiful expansive space to showcase 26 artists that use varied mediums for their work. All have truly inspirational, some quirky and unexpected anecdotes and background stories.


In this podcast, you’ll hear from:


Virginia-based Heidi Mraz with her incredible ‘Petal to the Metal’ story-telling montages;

Sculptor, Jonny Ambrose, who showcased the largest art piece, a six-foot-long skeletal Porsche 917 constructed using 3D printed joints and carbon fibre rods;

Richard Neergaard, who forms his eye-catching pieces using laser-cut aluminium;

And Martin Tomlinson, whose automotive passion and enthusiasm not only comes across through his art but also through his autograph book. The book, which is available for purchase, serves as a fascinating and unique memento of some of the greatest racing drivers, with the signatures of over 70 top racing drivers and World Champions.

For a while, the drivenchat podcast served as the weekly audio companion to the Driven platform, wrapping up the automotive world into candid conversations. Each episode paired the insights of a special guest from across the industry with the distinct perspectives of its three hosts. Listeners heard automotive writer, producer, and presenter John Marcar alongside automotive and lifestyle photographer Amy Heynes, with analysis from a racing driver and vehicle dynamics expert. This combination meant discussions naturally flowed from technical deep-dives into engineering and performance to the broader culture and style surrounding cars, all grounded in genuine expertise. The podcast has since concluded its run, with new episodes continuing under the refreshed banner of The Driven Podcast. The existing library of drivenchat episodes remains a compelling archive, capturing specific moments and voices from the motoring scene through relaxed yet informed dialogue. It was a show where passion for cars was the starting point, not the entire destination, often veering into the personal stories and unexpected tangents that make the automotive community so diverse. Produced by Paramex Digital, the series sits within the leisure and automotive categories, offering a backstage pass to the people who design, drive, photograph, and obsess over vehicles of all kinds.
