Greg Archer - The Tackle

£750.00

Oil on Board 51 x 41 cm 2026 The 1970 Mexico World Cup was an utter exotic contrast to the northern town I lived. To see the vibrant colour and arguably the greatest tackle in football was such a powerful memory. To fix that moment on canvas captures the simple room and youthful excitement of witnessing a mesmerising event. The youthful joy I experienced is firmly lodged in my memory. I used simple line and colour to convey the emotion and joy of football accessible to all.
