CC Passion

The brainchild of Colin Chapman who penned his first car in 1948, and found Lotus Engineering in 1952, this marque has had many memorable moments in its history.

From designing the Lotus Seven in 1957, widely regarded as the purest of sportscars, to one of the first affordable mid engined sports cars in the Lotus Europa, and then onto one of the most recognisable Bond cars in the Esprit, the company has built a number of stand out sports machines.

Also, in Formula One, Lotus gave us the first car to have tobacco sponsorship on its flanks , in the Gold Leaf Team Lotus. The first cars to run downforce generating wings in the Lotus 49. The blueprint all modern day F1 cars in the Lotus 72, and first championship winning ground effect car in the Lotus 79.

Clark, Hill, Rindt, Fittipaldi and Andretti all won F1 drivers championships in a Lotus as well as the team winning seven constructors championships between 1962 and 78.

How could I not recreate my own interpretation of this classic marque in glue chipped glass and 24 carat gold leaf.

Each artwork is individually hand crafted to order.

The endearing quality of glue chipped glass is that I am not able to control the chipping of the glass, and therefore subsequent iterations of this artwork will have a different chip pattern to that which is displayed here.

This random alchemy is what makes this process so attractive and beautiful and ensures that each piece that I create is a genuine original piece of artwork.

The artwork is created in 4mm float glass and is framed with a stain black frame with a gold sight line to enhance the beauty of the gilded glue chipped glass.

All pieces are supplied with an individually engraved brass nameplate, screwed to the back of the frame. This details the title of the artwork, the creation date, and the collection number.

All pieces are also supplied with an ethically sourced document folder, which holds the certificate of authenticity, an insurance valuation, gold leaf certification, and where appropriate, a data sheet from the carbon fibre manufacturer for full material traceability.
