Dion Pears Paintings

British, 1929-1985

Dion Pears was a British painter. Born in Richmond, Surrey, in 1929, Pears was the grandson of the famed marine artist Charles Pears.

Following the 1950 Monte Carlo Rally, Pears was commissioned by the car manufacturer Renault to produce a painting of one of their winning cars. Pears soon came to be considered among the most eminent motorsport artists. He was commissioned by several celebrated motor racing drivers to represent their successes and beloved cars in his distinctive and lively style of painting, capturing lasting impressions of both the racing car and the winning driver. From Le Mans to Grand Prix, Bentley to Ferrari, Pears regularly received commissions to paint contemporary races and legendary events retrospectively.
