James Stevens is a British contemporary artist whose work centres on capturing emotion and history within motorsport. Working in oil on large scale canvas, he places his subjects within abstract worlds that inject energy into the moment. Through colour, gesture and movement, every painting draws the viewer into the world.

​

Each painting begins as an initial concept, a creative playground where ideas can shift and evolve before the final composition is brought to life. Layers of colour and abstract form shape the space around the subject, creating movement through the canvas. The finished work is intended to carry atmosphere into a room, bringing the energy and emotion of the scene into the viewer’s space.

​

Stevens built his style through years of studio work and spent thousands of hours refining his technique before moving into professional collaborations within motorsport. He has painted live at industry leading events and collaborated with organisations including Aston Martin, SailGP, Ducati and McLaren at an exclusive event in Dubai, live painting Lando Norris’ 2025 World Championship win.

His paintings are held in private collections internationally, alongside commissioned works and limited edition reproductions.
