Artist Alex Wakefield to display His Automotive Art at the 2017 COrtile

1/18/2017

This summer you are in for a very special treat at the Cortile! We're excited to host artist Alex Wakefield at the Cortile with a  wonderful display of his art work during the Schenley Park weekend of races at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.
Alex Wakefield is first and foremost a motorsport artist and enthusiast.

As a little kid growing up in Iowa, Alex had always been fascinated by machinery, the pre-race build up and the stories of how those great races happened.

He likes to give his own interpretation on how he sees a given period in racing that he find interesting- a more colorful, emotional piece or a precise technical exercise to help convey the visual story.

According to Alex, "I don’t feel like I need to be pinned to one style, as I like the freedom of portraying motorsport in different ways. I want to show motor sport from my viewpoint. I want to take the viewer on a colorful, exciting ride into a sport I’m passionate about. If it’s something that you, the viewer, are moved and inspired by, then all the better. Hope you enjoy what you see."

Alex has a very impressive CV of late! Here's a short list of drivers, teams, and exhibits of which he has most recently worked with:
  • DragonSpeed ELMS P2 team
  • Mario Andretti
  • Bobby Unser
  • Brian Redman
  • Willy T. Ribbs
  • Jarno Trulli
  • Podium Lounge Singapore F1 Weekend, Ritz-Carlton, Singapore - September 16-18 2016
  • "SpeedLines" Exhibit at the Museu do Caramulo, Caramulo, Portugal - Spring 2016
  • "Espresso, Graphite, and Speed" Exhibit at Southeastern Community College, West Burlington, IA - Spring 2015
