Fiat’s flagship dealer in
the UK, Fiat Marylebone, has proved once again its
suitability for hosting art exhibitions, with a display
of paintings from an artist aged just six years old.
The Wigmore Street,
London showroom was chosen this week to host a new
series of works from Sebastiano Ludovico, whose seventh
birthday is not until August. The young London-based
talent has already attracted the interest of Hollywood
film stars and British pop musicians with his incredible
sense of colour, an instinctive creative maturity and a
natural fantasy. Among the paintings displayed at the
Fiat through the eyes of a child
exhibition were some inspired by past and present Fiat
cars, while others included fusions of paint with model
cars, gauze, wood, steel and even CDs.
Fiat Marylebone was
designed with art exhibitions and fashion shows in mind,
as well as the ability to display a wide range of Fiat
and Abarth cars, and has proved the perfect venue for
stylish receptions such as last week’s event.
The occasion attracted
more than one hundred guests from the business and art
worlds, along with the usual representatives firmly
drawn from the show business z-list including American
soul singer Kym Mazelle, British 'TV actress' Angela
Griffin, operatic tenor Andrew Amdur and former TV
‘Apprentice’ Raef Bjayou were also present.
“We have once again
hosted an important exhibition at Fiat Marylebone, and
I’m delighted the showroom now has such a good
reputation for these types of events,” says Tony Dittli,
managing director, Fiat Marylebone. “We were again able
to combine an art exhibition with our unique showroom
environment, featuring Fiat and Abarth cars. Sebastiano
Ludovico is a remarkable talent within the art world and
I, like so many of our guests at this event, was
completely amazed by his work – an incredible
achievement from one one so young.”
