For The Cortez Journal
Former Cortez resident artist Tom Kenyon continues his “Dreams of Speed” series with “Dreams of Speed … Supercharged!”
Mr. Kenyon creates replica race cars, invented racing artifacts, collages and linoleum block prints to tell the racing history of the Kenyon Motor Co., which was located at 310 E. Main St. from the 1930s through the mid ’60s. However, the racing history is the artist’s invention.
His work will be at the Waverly Street Gallery through July 3 at 4600 East West Highway, Bethesda, Md.
“I know that the Kenyon Motor Co. did not race cars. I am sure that Grandad would have thought that racing was a totally frivolous pursuit. The Dreams of Speed series is a way for me to do artwork around a theme of racing. I also hope to honor my family and the Kenyon Motor Co.” said Kenyon.
