Attracting a stream of visitors, Debra Thompson's showcase, The Way We Were: Icons of the 60s, is also attracting buyers. On this occasion. Steve McQueen will soon be on its way, from gallery to garage.

Raw speed, cinematic cool and masculine restraint converge in Steve McQueen, captured during the filming of Le Mans. This is a tribute to the actor who transformed understatement into legend. Inspired by the iconic racing film, the work layers Gulf-liveried Porsche imagery, vintage motorsport graphics and bold typography into a composition charged with movement and tension.

The mixed-media surface captures both the grit of endurance racing and the glamour surrounding it resplendent with oil, machinery, adrenaline and style. Beneath the resin finish, colours deepen and reflective surfaces create the sensation of velocity and light, echoing the atmosphere of the track itself.

McQueen remains a symbol of uncompromising cool: independent, disciplined and impossible to imitate. This painting extends beyond motorsport nostalgia into lifestyle territory, evoking collector garages, tailored interiors and a world where heritage and status quietly speak for themselves. For the buyer, it is not merely admiration of a film star, but alignment with an enduring ideal of confidence, rebellion and timeless style.
