The Prize

This one-off artwork depicts MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez riding his famous Repsol Honda. This is unique because the base is a piece of high-grade steel and the artwork was created using the same paints and automotive techniques to spray Marc's actual Honda bike.

Each individual colour is masked and then sprayed until all the layers are built up. Shading and effects are added and then a clear coat finish, which gives the artwork a beautiful glossy shine. The piece is even more spectacular in person than it is photographed.

The artist DrAutoArt specialises in this style of work and has created numerous pieces for people involved in Formula 1 and MotoGP. His process takes up to 50 hours to complete.

The piece measures 85 x 30 cm. It has pads on the back that make it sit 2 cm from the wall. It is on 2 mm thick strong steel.

The Cause

With a history spanning over a century, UK Youth is a leading national charity committed to ensuring all young people are empowered to build bright futures regardless of their background or circumstances. They sit at the heart of a national network of youth organisations to support young people across the UK who are in need of advice and training to equip them with vital life skills.

Most of the young people they support face a range of challenges. Over half of the young people on their programmes are from deprived areas of the UK and three in four face personal barriers including low income family constraints, not being in education, employment or training (NEET), having special educational needs, being a young carer, and having mental health challenges. In 2017, almost 100,000 young people directly benefited from their work.
