Another unique opportunity here to acquire an original painting of the Great Gretzky by world renowned sports artist William Lopa Jr. This beautiful original piece of art on canvas is signed by Lopa in the lower left corner of this amazing 40" x 54 1/2" painting and depicts the Great One in his Edmonton Oilers and New York Rangers uniforms. From a hyperactive toddler to the heralded, exclusive fine art and sports artist of W. Lopa Studios, Bill Lopa has always had a passion for art. An avid sports fan and die-hard Yankees fan, Lopa chose to concentrate his art in what he loved in a genre he found most challenging and enjoyable: kinetic impressionism. Working in acrylics, Lopa uses a splatter technique where the colors are applied with a pallet knife. The use of bold colors and splatter technique captures the image and spirit of an athlete in motion. Lopa artwork has been featured in art galleries across the country and is in the private collections of numerous athletes including Muhammad Ali, Tiki Barber, Roger Clemens and Michael Jordan to only name a few. A beautiful and unique original painting which will be the centerpiece of any Wayne Gretzky collection. Please take note that special shipping arrangements will be required.
