THE BOXER
A series of paintings (6) featuring the savage sport of ring fighting. The paintings are not historical, in fact they are more sci-fiction than fact. This is the "title card" of the exhibition to promote the work. I came up with this sketch to motivate me with feeling. I dig the idea of these fancy boots dancing their way across canvas, while above them, out of view violence reigns down on sweaty beat-meat.
This is an ink rough of one of the paintings.
I dig the layout, but I haven't nailed the figure design. Dimensions for this rough-8.5"x11"
THE BOXER painted rough
This is one of the unfinished paintings. Dimensions- roughly 40"x60". Mixed Media
Based on my ink sketch, I don't feel I captured the sense of depth, and solitude I was aiming for. I also don't like the figure design. I'm about half way thru the painting, and realised that I need to re-do the thing. So this piece will probably be abandoned. I do like the light vs dark, but I may use a cooler color scheme on the re-do.
