The sculptural language of Ferrari and Italian automotive design, where form becomes synonymous with identity.

a unique immersive experience at H R Owen Ferrari by artist and creative director Teddy McDonald June - September 2025

A series of original Ferrari oil pastel drawings exploring form, colour and Italian automotive design, presented to a private audience within the Ferrari showroom environment.

Presented in Mayfair, London by H.R. Owen Ferrari alongside Montblanc, and in the presence of the Head of Ferrari North Europe, the works were shown to a private audience of collectors and owners—offering a refined yet subtly playful interpretation of these iconic forms.

A larger painting, Ferrari Heart, was accepted by Flavio Manzoni on behalf of Ferrari. Separate works have been developed for Lapo Elkann, a member of the Ferrari-owning family and a collector of Teddy’s non-Ferrari works.

Further Ferrari showroom presentations include an earlier collection of Ferrari-inspired works exhibited by Dick Lovett Ferrari, alongside a commissioned painting for the office of their CEO.
