About the Artist

Born and raised in East London, Onyx is a self-taught artist whose practice emerged from an extraordinary chapter of his life. After an accident left him in a coma for several weeks, he spent a year in recovery — a period that revealed art to him as both a lifeline and a language. Creating sculptural works became a form of therapy, a way to process the profound revelations and subconscious insights he experienced during his time in the hospital.

Patrick Steel grew up surrounded by photographic equipment — his father Arthur Steel is a renowned Fleet Street photographer. From the age of seven he helped print black and white images in the darkroom. After studying photography, he joined Holborn Studios in London as a studio assistant, before going on to assist some of Britain's most respected celebrity photographers, including the late Terry O'Neill, working on portraits of Her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace and Sandringham.

Amalgam Collections creates exceptionally detailed scale models of the world's most iconic luxury and racing cars. Combining precision engineering, CAD design, 3D printing, and traditional craftsmanship, each model is hand-finished to museum-quality standards. 

Founded in 1985 and partnered with leading brands like Ferrari, Bugatti, and McLaren, Amalgam's models are recognised as works of art that capture the authentic spirit of each car.

About the Artist

Alan’s journey to screen printing began in his early teens, when an interest in photography drew him into the darkroom. After graduating with a first from Salisbury College of Art, he became an early adopter and innovator of digital tools and techniques.

His fascination with form, function and beauty led him to screen printing. Alan isolates iconic cars against his signature metallic backgrounds, drawing the eye to the sculptural, almost organic lines of some of the most celebrated cars in automotive history.
