64 painted images of the 2010 world cup in Hyde Park Sydney
Harrie Sengers painted an impression of every match played at the world cup in South Africa and will today put them all together in Hyde Park around 9.00 am 11.00 am for a photo shoot.
Each individual painted impression is 450x600 mm and the total work is about 3600x4800mm
The idea for this project came about because of the comments that Adam Spencer made on the ABC radio about Dry July.
And making a difference www.dryjuly.com Harrie liked what he was saying and decided to support this and became part of his breakfast booze busters group everyone is welcome to join this group if they like. https://www.dryjuly.com/groups/breakfastboozebusters
Harrie loves soccer and especially the world cup so he thought he could paint an impression of every game played at this world cup in South Africa.
All paintings are individually signed and numbered as being part of the whole series to finish this project he also painted the South African Flag over the total 64 paintings as you can see in the photo. Each painting will be supplied with an image of the total completed work.
He was hoping to make this image at the front of the Museum for contemporary Art Sydney, but the Harbour Foreshore Authority wouldn't give permission, their reason" because this wasn't covered under their insurance".
This artwork is part of a fundraiser and each individual work will be put on eBay so that each soccer fan can bid on each individual work from their favourite match.
There can also be done a bit for the total work for those who have enough wall space or corporate sponsors of this work. He is also hoping to display the complete work in an exhibition before the work will be send to the individual buyers.
