Object Detail


Brief Description
One of a group of 16 unframed square canvases that each represent the colours of an AFL team. This canvas depicts the colours of the Brisbane Lions Football Club. The colours navy blue, maroon and golden yellow have been applied using loose, broad brush strokes that cover the entire surface of the work. The canvas is divided horizontally by a large section of blue and slightly larger section of maroon paint. A thin yellow stripe has been painted around the canvas perimeter from the left centre edge, across the top of the canvas and ending at the lower right corner. The paints used are vibrant synthetic polymer paints that give the canvas a fairly high sheen. The title of the artwork is, "Geelong Nothing! No Wumpurani (young black fellas) play for Cats". The artist's intentions are for the paintings to be used to represent the AFL ladder as each round is completed. Inscriptions handwritten on reverse around wooden stretcher with a felt marker pen read 'ALCASTON GALLERY' '06/4' 'P JONES' '2/15'. There is also a handwritten felt marker pen arrow on the reverse of the canvas indicating which direction is the top of the canvas. Handwritten pencil inscription on reverse wooden stretcher reads 'AK10760'.
