Mixed Media Class with Professor Chris Valle
8ft x 6ft
Linoleum Tile
Medium - Paint, Ink, Charcoal
Inspired by artist Florian Nicholé's work
This piece meant a lot to me because not only is Albert Pujols an amazing baseball player.. and plays for my team (St. Louis Cardinals), he is also a great, genuine person. He has his own Albert Pujols Family Foundation for Down Syndrome. This piece has several articles about him and his successful career and life decisions, most recently being the unsigned contract with the Cardinals - leaving him as a free agent. I only hope he plays for the Cardinals because he has some major fans and it would be really sad to see him leave!!
I first painted a backwash onto the canvas, then laid it on the floor and threw red, yellow and white paint on it. After drying I began to draw the three images with ink. I wanted it to have an abstract feel to it. I wanted to give little detail, still knowing who it is, so that ones eye will complete the image. I then began writing the text and then completed with more detailing.
I would absolutely love to have this signed by Pujols or to even have the honor of giving it to him. We will see if this can happen :)
