Cantona
Client: Private commission
Brief: A private commission of Premier League football legend Eric Cantona, showing his famous number 7 and turned up shirt collar. The original shirt worn in this image was red, but due to his cult status in the history of the English Premier League I felt the black and white would be the best way to present this. He was so recognised for his number 7 shirt and upturned collar that the view from behind seemed to be the ideal way to represent the man. Painted in acrylic paint on canvas.
