Footballer Portraits - Udehi Imienwanrin

[Gutter Boy]

I was at an art gallery yesterday and they had a few paintings by this guy. I really like them. I'm quite into impressionism, and I think he really captures the aura of some of these individuals

Not sure if serious. Without the name (in enormous capital letters) it could be anyone.

It's life Jim, but not as we know it.

I think the Rooney one is particularly good. Southgate delves pretty dark. I can definitely pick up the essence of the individuals though, even if some of the features aren't quite accurate. I think there's a bit of a van Gogh vibe to them.

Is he six years old?

Surely the Southgate one is actually Keown?

Bit concerned that the Southgate one has his nipples out.

These pictures are part of a program in Peckham which helps people with learning difficulties produce and promote their work, it's a great project which gives us all a view we rarely see.

Not sure those footballers need to promote their work.

It looks like they have been done by kids at a nursery school.

They are genuinely part of the Football Art Prize touring exhibition: https://www.yourtrustrochdale.co.uk/exhibitions/the-football-art-prize/

They may not be what use to pass as "art" but that view has been challenged for over 150 years and this project gives people the chance to be included and give their work some value.

Still looks like nursery kids painting.

Reminds me of the Dylan album cover Self Portrait.

Reminds me of the Dylan album cover Self Portrait.

Indeed, Dylan made that album as a joke and was surprised it sold well.

Dylan has stated in interviews that Self Portrait was something of a joke, far below the standards he set in the 1960s, and was made to end the "spokesman of a generation" label that critics had put on him.

Yeah not a good album, think that's his first recording of Might Quinn.
