A collection of paintings by Jeremy Houghton, artist in residence for the America’s Cup boat Land Rover BAR, will be displayed at the Hamilton Princess.

Bringing the Cup Home, The Collection portrays the UK team’s lead-up to the 35th America’s Cup and will raise money for the team’s official charity, the 1851 Trust, through exhibitions and the sale of the works.

Mr Houghton is a UK artist who has held exhibitions of his work throughout Europe, the US, India and South Africa. He was artist in residence at Highgrove for the Prince of Wales and at Windsor Castle for the Queen, and was an official artist for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

According to a Hamilton Princess press release, Mr Houghton studied fine art in France at the University of Aix Marseilles and has a Postgraduate Diploma and an MA by research in Fine Art from the University of Gloucestershire.

“He is a specialist in sport and flight and his work focuses on movement, light, time and space. Using techniques such as the use of masking fluid to create a black and white look, reminiscent of vintage photos or negatives, Mr Houghton is able to capture the movement within the sports that he paints.

“After being selected as the team’s artist in residence in 2015, Mr Houghton spent one week per month at the team’s base in Portsmouth, and accompanied the team to a Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series event. His paintings depict action on the water as well as behind the scenes work by the entire Land Rover BAR team.”

The exhibition is displayed on the second floor mezzanine level between the hotel’s Trudeau and Harbourview rooms. Included in the exhibition are six 167 x 30cm tall free-standing paintings, two large 100 x 80cm oils, one 80 x 60cm watercolour, two small 25 x 35cm watercolour sketches and four 60 x 50cm prints.

“We are pleased to host this impressive exhibition of beautiful paintings by Jeremy Houghton,” said Allan Federer, general manager at Hamilton Princess and Beach Club.

“Mr Houghton is a celebrated painter and is recognised as an expert in capturing sport. His expertise shines through in each item in this exhibition, and it is a treat for us at the Hamilton Princess, and for all of our visitors, to be able to enjoy his work with Land Rover BAR.”

Jo Grindley, chief operating officer and chief finance officer to Land Rover BAR, said: “Jeremy was chosen because of his ability to portray not only the excitement of sailing, but also the nuances of our preparations for the America’s Cup.

“The results do not disappoint, and we hope they will introduce the excitement of sailing to a wider audience.

“Proceeds from the works will be donated to the 1851 Trust, the official charity of the team, set up to harness the power of sport to engage young people in science, technology and sustainability.”

The Duchess of Cambridge is royal patron.

Bring the Cup Home, The Collection is on display now until the end of the America’s Cup.
