About the work

A lively row of rounded figures in boldly patterned shirts hold red poles and stand before a line of glossy red bowls on a green lawn, their faceless forms lending a whimsical, dreamlike quality to the sporting scene. The composition is dense and joyful, rich with warm pinks, yellows, and vivid reds.
