The economic and the cultural. In many ways, this very building itself is a testament to a new paradigm. Just a few weeks back, I was sharing some thoughts with the NEA Chairman in a reception thrown in his honor. We talked a bit about the positive aspects of this project, Nike's sponsorship of an artistic effort. It's an indication of important evolving partnerships and it comes at a time when the importance of art and supporting artistic endeavors isn't always recognized.
Art is expression.
And through these paintings I have tried to capture the essence of Sport. It's not about products, it is simply about the Sport. A medium that likes art, touches the human spirit. Showers it with passion. Engender community cohesiveness.
