Glorious Failure by David Uhl

Limited Edition Canvas numbered 25/49 in the size 20″ x 31″. Published 2008.

The cover of the 2008 Indianapolis 500 Official Program cover features an artistic re-creation of one of the most dramatic developments in the history of the Indianapolis 500.  In 1912, Italian-born Ralph DePalma broke down within sight of the finish after having led 196 of the 200 laps.  Stranded in turn 4 with just over a lap to go, DePalma and his riding mechanic, Rupert Jeffkins, got out and began to push their Mercedes in a spirited attempt to finish.  The arrived to complete 199 laps just a few minutes after second-place Joe Dawson had successfully unlapped himself from a five-lap deficit and gone on to lead the final two laps for the win.  To Dawson’s amazement, among the first to shake his hand was none other than DePalma himself.

David Uhl Biography

artist-motorcycle-carsSee Artwork Here

David Uhl was born in 1961 into a family of engineers and artists which made him particularly suited for capturing the lifestyle inherent in motorcycling culture. He purchased his first bike in 1988 and soon after his pencils and pens reflected his visual passion for the sport. In 1993 he began producing countless best selling artworks for Harley-Davidson apparel.

After several years at the helm of Uhl Studios, an award-winning illustration company, David fulfilled his desire to move into Fine Art. In 1998, he created his first oil painting and, upon taking it to Harley-Davidson headquarters in Milwaukee, he was eagerly welcomed as the first ever licensed oil painter for The Motor Company.

Since then, David has created scores of masterpieces reviving the rich history of this legendary manufacturer. Poring over the company’s black and white photography archives, he has selected numerous compositions and brought them “back to life” in oil on canvas. His timeless style is perfect for capturing the deep emotions Harley-Davidson evokes and will allow the legacy to live on for generations to come.

David is also putting his touch on aviation, automotive and western themes.
