About this artwork
« When the folks at Vangart showed me what they could do with embroidery I was immediately intrigued. In this piece, based on my painting, the colors and textures are so vibrant that the character comes alive with an intensity that completely aligns with my vision. » — Ron English
« Quand l'équipe de VANGART m'a montré ce qu'elle savait faire en broderie, j'ai tout de suite été intrigué. Dans cette pièce, tirée de ma peinture, les couleurs et les textures sont si vives que le personnage prend vie avec une intensité qui correspond exactement à ma vision. »
