Rugby

My painting 'Rugby' challenges the boundaries between realism and abstraction. While the subject—a striped rugby shirt—is clearly identifiable, the close-up perspective and focus on geometric patterns encourage viewers to see beyond the literal object. The bold stripes and simplified form draw attention to the interplay of color, shape, and line, highlighting elements of abstraction through simplification and focus. By isolating these details, the painting invites contemplation on how everyday objects can transform into studies of composition and form.
