Canadian Automotive Artists

While Canada does not figure prominently in the manufacturing of automobiles the country does have artists who are enthusiastic about automobile subject matter.

One of these is Paul Chenard. Paul graduated from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design with a BComDes. Graphic Design in 1983. He is now employed by Communications Nova Scotia, as a graphic designer. Communications Nova Scotia is a government relations industry whose mission is to project the image of Nova Scotia to the world. However, cars have been his passion since childhood. He spent innumerable hours drawing any object mounted on wheels. He collected toy cars and even melted them down to create new ones. Paul still collects toy racecars, racing board games, vintage magazines, and history books about racing. His art specializes in the history of racing particularly Grand Prix Sports and GT. While, like most automotive artists, he supplies enough detail to identify the car and the race, his ultimate aim is to depict the feeling of competition that the spectator watching the race experiences. Paul’s artwork has its whimsical side as well. He also creates usable art such as greeting cards and T-shirts. Racecar driver Phil Hill is a favorite subject and Paul has not only pictured Hill in his winning Ferraris on greeting cards but has honored his racing success with a series of archival prints.

Gordon Drysdale is another Canadian devoted to automotive art. Gordon was born in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada and his artistic talent and love of automobiles were evident in his early childhood.

In 1988, Gordon decided to devote his energies full time to art. He first worked in oils but then changed to acrylics. He has also worked in other media including watercolor, conte and pen and ink. Gordon’s style is realistic as he endeavors to capture the nostalgic and historical appeal of the automobile. Many of his pictures show vintage autos in period scenes. His works have been purchasing by corporate clients and two of his paintings are displayed in the permanent collection of the Province of Ontario. In 1999 Gordon won national first place in the Art of the Automobile competition sponsored by the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada. Then in 2000 he won national third and national second in 2002.

Chris Phillips is another prize winning Canadian automotive artist. He was actually born in England but his parents immigrated to Canada when Chris was a teenager and he still lives there. Chris first worked for an advertising agency but when the agency closed he accepted a job in a service station. Later Chris decided to return to school and obtain a degree. After graduating with a BA and MA in history, he was employed by a community college first as an instructor, and later as an administrator. After ten years, he decided to launch a full time art career. Chris devotes himself exclusively to painting antique, classic, sports racing cars, Formula 1 and Indy cars. He received an Award of Merit at the 1996-97 Art of the Automobile Competition sponsored by the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada.
