Tom Fritz is known for his highly acclaimed paintings, prints and postage stamps depicting vintage, muscle, and racecars, and is a licensed Harley-Davidson artist.
He was born and raised in San Fernando, California, Fritz’s childhood recollections of the motorcycle and automotive cultures that were prevalent in Southern California during the 60s and 70s and are a part of the power that established him as a prominent artist of the genre.
His work is described as colorful, impressionistic brushwork, and simple, yet beautifully structured compositions charged with drama. His paintings celebrate the memories and observations he made since childhood, a unique and sensitive interpretation of the emotion and beauty of power.
