Catalogue note

A racing car in teal-green livery is caught mid-corner, its form dissolved into loose, energetic strokes against dark tarmac and red-and-white kerbing. The picture reads as speed translated into gesture rather than reportage, the machine nearly abstracted. Bright turquoise and scarlet cut through a murky ground, giving the image a restless, televisual energy.
