PRE-ORDER: The 2026 Red Racing Mako – Barcelona Edition by Alastair Gibson
Westover Gallery is delighted to present the 2026 Red Racing Mako – Barcelona Edition, an extraordinary new limited-edition sculpture by internationally renowned carbon fibre artist Alastair Gibson.
Inspired by the 2026 Ferrari Formula One Grand Prix car, this striking artwork celebrates a historic motorsport milestone: Sir Lewis Hamilton’s first victory for Ferrari at Barcelona’s legendary Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Blending cutting-edge engineering with contemporary sculpture, Gibson has created a piece that captures the passion, innovation, and competitive spirit that define both Formula One and the natural world.
A Sculpture Inspired by Speed
The design is based on Gibson’s iconic Racing Mako series, drawing inspiration from the remarkable mako shark – the fastest shark in the world's oceans. Renowned for its agility, power, and streamlined form, the mako perfectly embodies the same principles that drive Formula One performance.
Through the use of authentic motorsport materials and precision craftsmanship, the Barcelona Edition transforms advanced engineering into a dynamic work of art. Every curve and detail reflects the relentless pursuit of speed, efficiency, and excellence shared by elite racing machines and nature’s most formidable ocean predator.
