This collection of pastel drawings by Ray Pontin can be considered from a number of different points of view depending on your familiarity with: French automotive history; old (mostly) Citroën cars; general auto mechanics or, hopefully, just pleasing shapes, colors and textures. These larger than life depictions of old car engines cast a spotlight on the inadvertent spatial aesthetics created by mechanical designers. Their functional arrangement of components offers an almost limitless inspiration for compositions were form follows function.
