The portrait
The Flying Dutchman
Deep red and historic white
Football has a short list of moments that make even rival fans stand up. A spinning first touch at St James' Park. A flick-and-turn against Argentina. This was the man responsible for more of them than anyone.
He never liked flying, which only made the nickname better. On the pitch he was weightless. This print distils that calm, almost monastic concentration into a few hundred fragments of light against the dark.
From the artist
I combined a fascination with pointillism and negative space to create illustrations that could be hung proudly on any style-conscious wall. Limited edition art prints of your sporting idols at reasonable prices.
