Aston Martin North America Brings Timothy Raines’ Art to Amelia Island Concours
Aston Martin North America invited and hosted artist Timothy Raines to showcase three Aston Martin themed works over the three days of their private and public events held at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. The works were displayed prominently next to their recently revealed 4-door Rapide and the flagship DB9 convertible on Sunday during the main Concours event.
The event resulted in several sales of art and Aston Martin automobiles at the event as well as follow on purchases from collectors of these two different but equally impressive types of art. The three artworks displayed by Timothy Raines were “Motherland”, a painting of the British Flag (commonly called ‘Union Jack’), the Aston Martin Logo and a Nautilus Shell that is a commonly recognized symbol for perfection, The Divine Proportion and the Universal Creative Power and happens to be the symbol chosen by Aston Martin to represent the Rapide.

Jalopnik Reports on my Art
One of the top two auto blogs going has shared my art with the automotive world. Jalopnik reported on my work and wrote some excellent remarks. It is an honor to have the coverage.
“Artist Timothy Raines focuses much of his talent on automobile logos in his series “Brand as Art.”. He makes the Cavillono in these works Rampante and spreads Bentley’s wings with a triptych. Glorious and gorgeous!”
The comments from the Jalopnik readers are classic as well!
