Meet Michael Vaughan - From Crease To Canvas

Sunday 29th November 2009

Michael Vaughan OBE – the most successful captain in the history of English cricket – has put his batting skills to canvas and combined his two great passions in life, cricket and art, to create ‘Artballing’ – an innovative, unusual and exciting form of modern abstract art. Michael will be personally launching his new collection of limited edition prints and original artworks in the gallery on Sunday 29th November at 1pm and chatting to collectors about his work.

Using his favoured cover drives, square cuts and pull shots Michael expertly hits a paint-covered ball at a blank canvas to create dramatic abstract pieces that can best be described as a riotous mixture of Jackson Pollock meets Damien Hirst.

The collection features four powerful hand embellished boxed canvasses, all personally hand signed by Michael himself, and limited in editions of just 195 – making them a fantastic addition to any contemporary home, as well as a highly collectable piece of modern art.
