White Rope

My series of athletes/portraits, painted in oils on linen, show luminous torsos woven into a grid of gestural drips. The paintings channel a specific, personal moment, of profound realization. Each emotive piece explores the range of emotions I experienced when confronted by my first live boxing match – the cascading drips of blood and sweat that stained the boxer’s body, the solace and tenacity in the individual’s gaze.
