Paintings of boxers are a subject I have created a couple of times before. There is something quite arresting about the image of a boxer and I wanted this painting to mirror some of the opposing elements.
My feelings about boxing is mixed. In my head, I think it’s wrong. I think it’s wrong for two guys to get into a ring and beat the hell out of each other. However, nothing in this world is perfect and if I am honest, I love watching a good boxing match!
I also cannot paint artwork such as this without thinking about Muhamud Ali and what a handsome, witty, gifted man he was and think abou tthe ilness he now suffers, wondering if it has been contributed to in any way by his early boxing career.
Boxing Art - Framed & Glazed
I have obsessed over this painting as i have over many of the current oil paintings which I am working on. These new artworks have taken much longer than anything which I have painted before because of the manner in which I am working with the paint and building it up.
This male art has now been cropped right back. Several times I considered cropping the face but I finally decided on making the painting much narrower to change the overall composition and I am now happy with the final artwork.
Painting Dimensions: 10 x 20 inches approx (excluding frame).
Medium: Oil on board
