The Idea Behind Tiger


Photobucket

This ad was the second part of my two-painting, senior thesis. Like the LeBron painting, the same rules for Tiger apply here. However with the limited color pallet that this Nike commercial offers, I had to play a bit of a guessing game with my hues. Furthermore,I decided to execute Tiger's body with circles as compared to squares. Why? Well, I suppose the circles, to me provided more of a pulsating, explosive element that was needed to articulate the feeling I get when I view this ad. I just love how simple, yet extraordinary this ad / artistic concept is. A slow motion swing of the world's greatest athlete. I just had to translate this harmony onto canvas.
