Title: "Villeneuve" Ferrari Club of America Annual Meet 2022
by Jay Koka, © 2020
48"w x 28", acrylic on canvas, Private Collection
A very rare F1 themed work from Jay Koka pays tribute to the great Canadian driver Gilles Villeneuve. Created in 2020 as the event art for the Ferrari Club of America Meet scheduled for Mont Tremblant in July 2020, the art has been held since the cancellation of the event due to COVID19 restrictions.
Gilles Villeneuve (January 18, 1950 – May 8, 1982), spent six years in Grand Prix motor racing with Ferrari, winning six races and widespread acclaim for his performances.
He drove for the Italian team from 1978 until his death in 1982. He won six Grand Prix races in a short career at the highest level. In 1979, he finished second by four points in the championship to teammate Jody Scheckter. Villeneuve died in a crash caused by a collision with the March car driven by Jochen Mass during qualifying for the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix at Zolder.
Joanna Villeneuve attended the Mont Tremblant celebration of her late husband's life. She kindly signed and dated the back of the original painting.

at Portofino
Title: "812 and Zeelander at Portofino"
by Jay Koka, © 2022
36”w x 48”, acrylic on canvas, Private Collection
The setting is the much admired and very beautiful harbor of Portofino, located in the Italian Riviera region of northwest Italy.
Jay Koka" Although I am enamored of wooden boats, the Zeelander presents to me a shape that is irresistible. It is in so many ways almost "car-like" in its overall shape and layout and serves as a perfect companion to the Ferrari 812 on shore. This yacht is a Zeelander 44."
Visitors to the Studio site are well familiar with Ferrari and all the latest models including the 812. Boatbuilder Zeelander was established in the Netherlands in 2003, engineering and creating high-end motor yachts to the very high standards. www.zeelander.com
NOTE: The original painting has been altered: the country flag has been changed and the boat name has been applied to the stern. Reproductions are as originally painted as shown here.
A major new work. See more marine themes in the new > Marine Theme Art section.

Jay Koka "Like many others, this event had been cancelled two years in a row because of COVID concerns and restrictions. I met with the organizers in 2021 after the cancellation of the 2021 event and it was suggested that we do something really special for the "return" poster and event artwork. I have been privileged to create the art for every year of the event since inception and decided this would need to capture not just the magnificent winners but depict the spirit and the history of the event"
The seven Best of Show winners are presented. From the front: 1938 Delahaye 135MS Teardrop Coupe (2018), 1938 Merceded-Benz 540K (2019), 1936 Delahaye Type 135 (2014), 1928 Isotta-Frachini 8A SS (2013), 1945 Alfa Romeo 6C (2017), 1932 Auburn Speedster (2016) and 1938 Graham 97 by Saoutchik (2015).

The iconic Chris Craft custom runabout was produced from 1939 to 1942, with a total of 433 hulls produced. It is said that the Barrel Back represented the highest level of craftsmanship Chris Craft ever offered because it required skilled craftsmen to produce the full half circle transom shape.
