Wrestling's artist at large Rob Schamberger's latest art print focuses on AEW's Cope, Adam Copeland.
Schamberger commented, "There’s just something about the visual of a guy holding a stick with violent intentions, right? Especially one with a bunch of spikes in it. I’ve made several paintings of Adam ‘Cope’ Copeland over the past dozen or so years and something I like about him as a subject is that he’s constantly giving me something new to work with. I think it’s that he’s an artist as well, with a lot of the same formative inspirations that I have myself, that makes us such a natural fit. With this painting in particular something clicked as I neared the end of it that I didn’t intend. A lot of those blooms of pigment in the shadows especially happened on their own and I opted to leave them in because it transformed the whole feel of the piece. I also like how these pastel colors contrast against the violence of the figure and the weapon, making them all feel more intense.
The art print is signed and numbered by both at this link.
