Flying In The Gate
Flying In The Gate
Acrylic painting of a TP 52 and San Francisco city front on Chart#18649
This painting was created to celebrate Big Boat Racing and the Annual Rolex Big Boat Regatta held by St. Francis Yacht Club, San Francisco, California.
This piece artistically captures the iconic San Francisco city front as the boat races through the choppy waters showing the natural beauty of the location. The wind blowing through the sails creates a sense of speed, while the boat glides through the turbulent waters making one feel like they are part of the action.
The painting is a tribute to Big Boat Racing, and the sheer energy and enthusiasm of the annual Rolex Big Boat Regatta. The regatta is a time-honoured tradition, which brings together sailors, spectators, and enthusiasts to showcase their talents and passion for sailing. "Flying in the Gate" perfectly encapsulates that passion and energy in the form of art.
The figures of the sailors themselves are almost secondary to the overall aesthetic of the painting. Their bodies are rendered in monochromatic tones, that take on a more sculptural quality, in the middle of all this motion.
