Original artwork description:

An acrylic portrait homage to the late, great classical music pianist John Ogdon.

Painted on a professional artist canvas measuring 40 x 50 cm using professional artist quality acrylic paints this truly unique, one of a kind portrait is a celebration of the musical genius of the composer and pianist John Ogdon.

I have been inspired and moved by the virtuoso and highly individual musical performances of John Ogdon for many years, celebrating his connection to my home town of Manchester U.K. and respecting his huge contribution to classical music. Utilizing bright and vibrant colours, I have hoped to capture his generous and kind personality and the emotional power of his piano playing, the sombre and dark background serving as a reminder of his troubled life and his struggle with mental health.
