Every now and then you come across work that simply stands out. In the crossroads of art and motorsport there are several strong players but few as talented as Dutch artist Rob Ijbema. Covering a wide variety of subjects and eras, Rob’s paintings reflect key moments, cars and drivers up to and including today’s actors. Be it Formula cars, legendary racing aces or the Le Mans 24 Hours, the canvas conveys not just speed but also the associated emotions. A small sample of Rob’s work is linked here but make sure you don’t miss his full array of paintings at his blog: http://car-a-day.blogspot.nl/
