“Judo Dance”

Is it fighting or dancing? Exploring the fluid boundary between martial arts and artistic movement, transforming the disciplined techniques of judo into a questionable choreography. The figures rendered in bold orange and blue strokes create a visual vibration that articulates the sequential judo techniques, while a background of ghostly dance steps emerge like memories of motion.

The piece brilliantly captures the inherent grace within combat sports, revealing how the holds of judo share DNA with dance—both requiring balance, timing, and an intimate understanding of physical momentum. The line work and strategic use of color create a sense of continuous movement.

The layered composition, with its subtle background suggesting classical dance positions, invites contemplation on two people moving together, especially if one is “leading” the other. This is more than a sports illustration—it's a meditation on the artistry embedded in all physical disciplines.

Perfect for collectors who appreciate works that challenge traditional boundaries between combat and expression through movement, "Judo Dance" offers both visual dynamism and conceptual depth. The piece would command attention in any contemporary collection, speaking to our evolving understanding of where art intersects with human movement and cultural practice.

A sophisticated addition for the discerning collector seeking work that is both aesthetically striking and intellectually engaging.

High Quality Canvas
My Giclée canvas prints are crafted with high-quality, archival materials to ensure lasting durability and vibrant colors. Experience gallery-quality results on a semi-matte cotton canvas. The UV print technique ensures water and fade resistance, while the lightly textured surface adds depth and the look of the original canvas to the print.

The canvas is 344 gsm in weight and stretched onto wooden stretcher bars like the original. Once stretched, the final print will be around 20mm deep/thick on the side.

Framing
The floater frames are crafted from poplar hardwood, giving your canvas the appearance of floating within the frame. The frame is 1 cm (0.4”) wide from the front and 4 cm (1.6”) deep from the side. The frames come in black, white, and oak to suit any artwork. Optionally, you can receive your artwork without a frame if you would like to have it framed yourself. Note: Frames may vary slightly in color, finish, and spacing from example images.

Ready to hang
Each print comes ready to hang with pre-installed sawtooth hardware and rubber bumpers to protect your wall and keep your artwork perfectly aligned.

  • Take a natural, well-lit image of your wall.
