Artist: Chris Tutty
Dimensions: 30 x 40 inches
In the dynamic 30 x 40-inch painting titled The Eye of the Tiger, Chris Tutty captures the unparalleled focus, drive, and legacy of golf legend Tiger Woods. This striking piece juxtaposes two powerful images: a close-up of Tiger's intense, determined gaze and a depiction of his iconic swing in his signature red shirt — a symbol of his dominance on Sundays throughout his career.
The background features the piercing eyes of a tiger, seamlessly blended with Tiger Woods’ own expression, creating a symbolic reflection of his nickname and spirit. Tutty’s meticulous airbrush technique brings out stunning realism, from the texture of Tiger’s skin to the gleam of his Nike cap and the subtle movement in the tiger’s fur. Every detail embodies precision, mirroring the athlete’s own mastery of his sport.
The Eye of the Tiger isn’t just a portrait; it’s a celebration of resilience, strength, and unrelenting pursuit of greatness — qualities that have defined Tiger Woods both on and off the course.
Each original painting is unique and a one-of-a-kind creation. A great amount of time and detail goes into each piece of art, from hand-painted brush strokes in acrylic and oil medium, to the unique art of airbrushing done with only the best of paints, Crea-tex Auto-Air Colors, and House of Kolors Automotive Paint. Aspects of geological layering, almost like sedimentary rock, are imparted with mixed mediums such as metallics, gold and silver flaking, coppers and iron magnesium powders, glass resins, pearls, and industrial candy coats. Some masterpieces also incorporate sculptural elements like molding paste, crackling, and organic material to create depth and a dimensional, embossed image that leaps off the canvas.
Artist Proofs are created using the same attention to detail and materials as the original. The process begins with a professional photograph of the original painting by Rob Ryan of Render DC. This image is digitally remastered and color balanced, then printed and stretched on canvas as a guide. From there, it is re-airbrushed to restore the vibrant colors and depth of the original. Elements such as molding paste, pearls, metallic flakes, and neon paints are incorporated before being sealed with glass resins. Each proof is unique, essentially a new painting based on the original, offered at a more accessible price point.
Metal prints feature vivid, durable imagery infused directly into sleek aluminum panels with a glossy finish. Rounded edges and a wall-mount fixture make for a clean, modern display perfect for home or office décor.
These fine art prints use advanced dye-sublimation technology to infuse the image directly into a coated aluminum surface, ensuring high-definition color and long-lasting durability. Unlike traditional prints, these are scratch-resistant and easy to clean, requiring no frame for display.
Resin art blocks provide a three-dimensional effect with stunning clarity. Each image is mounted to a pinewood block, coated with Art-Resin for a glass-like finish, and limited to 250 numbered prints worldwide.
Some Artist Proofs may take up to one month for production and shipping. Colors may vary slightly depending on screen settings and materials used. Each piece is handcrafted, ensuring that every artwork is truly one of a kind.
