Artist biography Andrew Kitson is a known British racing sporting artist who was born in 1959, he grew up in Cambridge, England. He has a lasting fascination in Motor Racing sports. This was attributed to his dad who was a racing mechanic during the 1960s. When Andrew was a youth he attended on Sundays at racing circuits all over the United Kingdom, he particularly loved it at Snetterton also Silverstone as well as Brands Hatch. When he attended college in the 1970’s he studied technical illustration, during his time off at weekends his hobby was helping teams in Formula 5000 also Formula Ford.
He learned his trade as an Illustrator in the Automotive industry, then later Andrew had a go at action racing paintings, which was a hobby to him at first, he used his expertise that he gained working in industry. Shortly afterwards racing drivers along with teams that he was familiar with from the racing world would request him for paintings of their cars. Then the word spread like wild fire about how great his realism sporting racing paintings are.
He produces paintings that combine nostalgia and beauty which embellish realism, it’s like you can nearly smell the burning rubber from the tyres screeching and almost hear the exciting sounds of the engines booming along the track.
