Reserve: £950.00 - 'Steve Perryman – White Hart Lane, Easter Sunday 1980'

Unframed - Photo transfer onto canvas with watercolour and ink – 1 metre square

The main image is taken from the 1979/80 handbook and shows Steve Perryman about to equalise against QPR at White Hart Lane. The canvas is edged with fabric (curtain) to provide a sharp border of colour and pattern which provides an interest, not a distraction, to the main content of the work. 

Gained BA (Hons) in painting and drawing at Grays School of Art in 1996.  Followed with post-graduate year at Staffordshire Univ.  Since then have taught painting and drawing and exhibited in group shows in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. 

I chose to make a work about Steve Perryman because he is central and stalwart to my memories of the time.  As Spurs Captain, he was mainstay of a hugely exciting time which culminated in players like Hoddle and Gascoigne (are there other players ‘like’ them?).
