GRAHAM BOSWORTH

Graham was born in Coventry in 1944 in the heart of the motor industry and grew up with a passionate interest in the motorcar and motorsport. He clearly remembers the sight and sound of "C" and "D" type Jaguars being road-tested past his childhood home and has vivid memories of first visits to Silverstone in the mid 1950's. After leaving school Graham trained as a technical illustrator at Coventry School of Art and then joined one of the city's leading illustration and design studios. He was engaged in all forms of line and airbrush exploded and cutaway drawings and worked on a varied number of contracts including motorcars and commercial vehicles, aircraft and machine tools.

After nine years he went into partnership and formed Baron-Bosworth Publications. The studio secured contracts from areas of industry including power generation, motor vehicles, machine tools and hydraulic equipment thru' to furniture, industrial compressors and boat building. Graham then worked as a freelance artist, illustrator and graphic designer. In recent years he has concentrated on painting, prefering to work in oils and watercolour and gouache, paying much attention to technical detail.

His work has been exhibited at the Gibson Moore Gallery, Silverstone Classic, Goodwood Festival of Speed, the International Historic Motorsport Show at Stoneleigh, the Coventry Transport Museum, the British Motor Industry Heritage Centre at Gaydon, as well as many Guild of Motoring Artists exhibitions, a member of which he has been for many years.

One of the highlights of Graham's career was a commission for Jaguar Cars of the Queen Mother's Mk7 Jaguar, presented to her on her 100th birthday.

Several paintings are on permanent display in the Jaguar/Daimler Heritage Museum. Graham is the official artist commissioned to paint the winning car in the Autoglym National Concours competition. He has undertaken commissions and sold paintings as far afield as Saudia Arabia to Holland, Germany and the USA. Prints of his Formula One paintings, the Le Mans montages and historic motorsport scenes are sold worldwide.
