Andrew Kitson was born in Cambridge, England in 1959. His interest in motor sport has developed from a lifelong involvement, as his father was a racing mechanic in the 1960s & 70s. The art class was his favourite subject in school leading to a career as a technical illustrator, working in the German car industry on 'expolded' and 'cut-away' drawings for maintenance manuals. Simultaneously, he was building his reputation as an automotive artist, with motor racing as the main subject. His skill as a painter can be seen in all of his subject matter, not just his car work but also portraits, landscapes, aviation and wildlife.

Andrew combines his knowledge of the sport, artistic skills and technical accuracy to create evocative works in oils, acrylics, gouache, pen & ink or pencil. This website will show you examples of Andrew's work from the early 1980s to the present day including many commissioned, or owned, by well known names in the sport and other non-automotive subjects. His paintings have been commissioned by clients around the world, most are directly involved in the industry such as drivers, teams, sponsors, circuits, manufacturers & suppliers, clubs and associations. Many motorsport fans have also asked for a painting of their favourite car, driver or event.
