About The Artist
Lory Lockwood is an artist who specializes in automobile and motorcycle fine art that she paints in a style called Photorealism. This contemporary style exudes a power of obsessive detail that focuses on chrome reflections, bright colors and abstract patterns.
Lockwood’s interests range from vintage, exotic and classic autos like Rolls Royce, Bentley, and Mercedes Benz to bikes such as Harley-Davidson, Gilera and custom choppers. Her exquisitely detailed oil paintings are inspired by visits to Daytona Bike Week, Laguna Seca Historic Races and Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
Car and motorcycle enthusiasts can also commission a personalized portrait from Lockwood.
The following are excerpts from a review of her 2007 show, Cultural Icons:"Lory Lockwood is a painter gifted with a chromium touch, an ability to make the arcane art of oil paint on canvas resemble the glossiest product photography imaginable. Her paintings of the sleekest of sports cars and vintage Detroit behemoths restored to more than mint condition represent a multifaceted approach that cuts across the cultural spectrum."
"...She just waves that chromium wand and distills all that she surveys into the glossiest depictions of exotically machined metal imaginable."
"...what's beyond dispute is Lockwood's ability to recreate in oils that reflective chrome sizzle -- the mystique of elaborately machined metal, the aura of speed and the visceral excitement it conveys."
