Artistic Shift: From Rallying to Brushstrokes with David Kelsall
I had the pleasure of meeting David Kelsall, a remarkable individual who transitioned from rally driver to celebrated automotive artist.
Engaging in a conversation outside Kelsall's home in the Yorkshire countryside, I delve into his journey, beginning with his days in rallying, his self-taught path into the world of art, and his exploration of digital mediums in creating his masterpieces. Kelsall regales me with stories of rallying in vintage cars, the unexpected genesis of his art career during the initial lockdown, and how his artwork, especially his depictions of rally cars, garnered international acclaim.
We discuss the hurdles and rewards of capturing the spirit of motorsports and classic automobiles through digital art, underscoring the transformative role of technology in traditional painting. The discussion concludes with Kelsall sharing his aspirations and his venture into showcasing his art in physical spaces alongside the ongoing success of his digital platform.
